Khaberni - The artificial intelligence tool "Claude" has created a stir in the international tech and political spheres, especially after it was revealed that the United States relies on it as a technical cornerstone in highly sensitive military and intelligence operations, most notably the operation to arrest Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
This disclosure not only sparked controversy over ethical aspects but also highlighted the programming supremacy achieved by "Anthropic" in developing language models capable of handling complex field tasks.
The stir began following a "Wall Street Journal" report confirming that the American military integrated the "Claude" model into its data infrastructure managed by "Palantir".
The importance of this revelation stems from "Claude" being marketed as an "ethical" and constitutional artificial intelligence model. However, its use in supporting American special operations forces to arrest Maduro and his wife revealed computational capabilities far beyond traditional civilian uses, placing it at the center of a heated technical debate about the limits of using large language models (LLMs) in "smart wars".
Why does "Claude" surpass its competitors?
Apart from the political controversy, the technical specifications of "Claude Opus 4.6" demonstrate why the American security agencies prefer it over competitors like ChatGPT or "Gemini 3 Flash", specifically noting the following key features:
1- The immense "Context Window" structure
The model supports a context window of up to one million "tokens" (beta), equivalent to thousands of pages of data or a full programming code for massive projects.
In military operations, this means the tool can absorb all intelligence reports, area maps, and real-time surveillance data in a single "short-term memory", without losing details during analysis, which surpasses "GPT-5.2" that stops at 128,000 tokens.
2- Superiority in "Agentic Coding"
"Claude" scored record numbers in tests like (Terminal-Bench 2.0) at 65.4%, making it the best in understanding operating systems and dealing with complex programming environments.
This capability allows the tool to act as a "technical agent" that inspects vulnerabilities, analyzes codes, and detects programming errors in systems that military hackers may need to interact with.
3- The "Adaptive Thinking" Algorithm
Unlike models that provide immediate and superficial responses, "Claude" employs an adaptive thinking feature. In complex situations (such as planning a raid), the model automatically slows down the response speed to increase "logical reasoning" steps, reducing the error rate in military decision-making.
4- Reliability and Avoidance of "Programming Hallucinations"
The technical transparency of "Claude" is a strategic advantage; the model has a system that acknowledges uncertainty instead of generating false data (Hallucinations).
In military operations, the "wrong answer" can lead to disasters, which is why the Pentagon prefers the accuracy of "Claude" in processing facts.
What will happen in the future?
Experts confirm that the buzz surrounding "Claude" will not cease with the Venezuela operation; the model's capability to generate complete technical files (Word, PDF, Excel) within a chat environment makes it a fully integrated productivity platform for field reporting.
Although "Anthropic" confirms its commitment to usage policies that prohibit violence, the technological reality indicates that "Claude" has indeed become the new "digital mind" relied upon by major powers in managing their most secretive files, surpassing models focused on general use and entertainment.
