US appeals court upholds Pentagon blacklisting of Anthropic

A U.S. federal appeals court declined to block a Defense Department order designating AI startup Anthropic as a national security supply chain risk.

The ruling from the D.C. Circuit Court upholds the military contracting ban, which Anthropic claims cost it billions in lost business and harmed its reputation.

Anthropic stated it disagrees with the decision, remains confident in its position, and is considering further judicial review.
