court hearing

A federal judge is considering whether the Pentagon unlawfully banned Anthropic’s AI models, calling the move an attempt to cripple the company. Anthropic argues the designation as a “supply chain risk” is retaliatory and lacks basis. The judge questioned if Anthropic faced adverse actions for critiquing government contracting and whether a low threshold was used for the designation. A ruling is expected soon, which could allow Anthropic to continue government contractor relationships while its lawsuit proceeds.
