Judge blocks Pentagon blacklist of Anthropic as supply chain risk
A federal judge has issued a ruling blocking the U.S. Department of Defense from blacklisting artificial intelligence developer Anthropic as a supply chain risk. The Pentagon had previously barred military branches and defense entities from deploying Anthropic's Claude foundation models in March. The court's decision temporarily halts the government restriction, potentially reopening procurement channels for defense contractors and military initiatives seeking to integrate Anthropic's enterprise and frontier models into federal workflows.
