Judge Blocks Pentagon's Blacklisting of Anthropic as 'Illegal and Baseless'
johnmccrea · x · 2026-08-28
A federal judge ruled that the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a national security supply-chain risk was 'illegal and baseless', vacating the decision and lifting related sanctions. Judge Rita Lin called the measures unconstitutional retaliation and arbitrary. The Pentagon may appeal, but is not required to use Anthropic's models.
