Pentagon Keeps Anthropic Blacklisted After Court Order

Quartz reports that the Pentagon is defying a federal court order to lift its supply chain risk designation against Anthropic. The Defense Department states the ban remains in effect. A top department official pushed back on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's remarks that Anthropic had improved relations with the Trump administration. The judge directed removal of the designation, yet the department continues to enforce the restrictions on the AI company according to the coverage. This keeps the supply chain measures active for the time being.
