OpenAI has reached an agreement with the Defense Department to deploy its models in the agency’s network, company chief Sam Altman has revealed on X. In his post, he said two of OpenAI’s most important safety principles are “prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems.” Altman claimed the company put those principles in its agreement with the agency, which he called by the government’s preferred name of Department of War (DoW), and that it had agreed to honor them.
The agency has closed the deal with OpenAI, shortly after President Donald Trump ordered all government agencies to stop using Claude and any other Anthropic services. If you’ll recall, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously threatened to label Anthropic “supply chain risk” if it continues refusing to remove the guardrails on its AI, which are preventing the technology to be used for mass surveillance against Americans and in fully autonomous weapons.
It’s unclear why the government agreed to team up with OpenAI if its models also have the same guardrails, but Altman said it’s asking the government to offer the same terms to all the AI companies it works with. Jeremy Lewin, the Senior Official Under Secretary for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom, said on X that DoW “references certain existing legal authorities and includes certain mutually agreed upon safety mechanisms” in its contracts. Both OpenAI and xAI, which had also previously signed a deal to deploy Grok in the DoW’s classified systems, agreed to those terms. He said it was the same “compromise that Anthropic was offered, and rejected.”
Anthropic, which started working with the US government in 2024, refused to bow down to Hegseth. In its latest statement, published just hours before Altman announced OpenAI’s agreement, it repeated its stance. “No amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons,” Anthropic wrote. “We will challenge any supply chain risk designation in court.”
Altman added in his post on X that OpenAI will build technical safeguards to ensure the company’s models behave as they should, claiming that’s also what the DoW wanted. It’s sending engineers to work with the agency to “ensure [its models’] safety,” and it will only deploy on cloud networks. As The New York Times notes, OpenAI is not yet on Amazon cloud, which the government uses. But that could change soon, as company has also just announced forming a partnership with Amazon to run its models on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for enterprise customers.
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
— Sam Altman (@sama) February 28, 2026
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

Monitoring a camera feed used to require either hovering behind the viewfinder or investing in a dedicated wireless video system with separate transmitters, receivers, and field monitors. For solo content creators, small production teams, and anyone shooting interviews or tutorials with limited gear, that kind of setup has always felt disproportionate to the task. The gap between “professional monitoring” and “just squinting at the back of the camera” remained stubbornly wide.
EZCast’s CamCast CT-1 is a compact wireless transmitter designed to sit on top of any HDMI-equipped camera, from mirrorless bodies and DSLRs to action cams and camcorders. Once connected, it broadcasts a live 1080p 60fps feed over 5GHz Wi-Fi to up to four iOS or Android devices simultaneously. EZCast has spent over a decade building wireless display and screen-mirroring technology for offices and classrooms, and the CamCast is their first product built specifically for cameras, applying that signal distribution expertise to a production context.

The device itself is small enough to mount on a camera hot shoe or gimbal arm, with included adapters for both horizontal and vertical orientation. A built-in OLED screen displays connection details, and pairing happens through a QR code scan that takes roughly three seconds. Power comes from either a standard NP-F battery, the same type used across countless cinema accessories, or a USB-C connection at 5V/3A. That dual-power flexibility means a battery for mobility on location or a simple cable for longer, stationary shoots where runtime matters more.
Beyond passive monitoring, the companion CamCast app lets users save takes directly to their phone, review footage instantly, and share clips without ever pulling a memory card from the camera. For a two-person crew shooting a wedding, for instance, the second operator can watch the main camera’s composition from across the venue on a phone while managing their own setup. A makeup artist can confirm framing before the talent walks on set. Four people watching the same live feed, all from devices they already carry, collapses a communication problem that traditionally required dedicated hardware to solve.
What separates the CamCast CT-1 from a basic wireless HDMI sender, though, is the built-in PTP camera control. From the app on a phone or tablet, users can adjust shutter speed, ISO, color temperature, and aperture, and even navigate through camera menus remotely. Consider a camera mounted on an overhead rig for a cooking tutorial, or locked onto a gimbal for a tracking shot. Physically reaching the camera to change a setting interrupts the flow of a shoot. Being able to tweak exposure or white balance from a phone across the room changes how a solo creator or small team interacts with their gear.
The CamCast CT-1 also has a UVC output, which means it can connect directly to a laptop or desktop and function as a capture card. For livestreamers, educators, or anyone running a webinar, this removes an entire piece of hardware from the signal chain. One device handles wireless monitoring to phones and wired streaming output to a computer at the same time, which is a lot of functions packed into something that weighs less than most on-camera microphones.
Picture a YouTuber who films with a mirrorless camera on a tripod across the room. Right now, checking framing or adjusting settings means walking over, making a change, walking back, and repeating until it looks right. With the CamCast mounted on that camera, the phone becomes both the monitor and the remote control. An instructor recording a craft tutorial gets the same benefit, turning their tablet into a live preview without needing cables snaking across the workspace or an expensive field monitor clamped to a light stand.
Rather than building another monitor or another receiver, EZCast built a bridge between cameras and the screens people already own. That redistribution of function, turning four phones into four production monitors through a single transmitter, might be the more interesting design move in a category still dominated by expensive, single-purpose hardware.
