D.C. Circuit leaves the Pentagon's Anthropic ban in place for contractors' department work

Anthropic failed on September 25 to get the D.C. Circuit to block the Pentagon's supply-chain-risk label, in a ruling CNBC reported as 2-1. Under the court's April order the bar covers only contractors' work for the department, so a Claude exit plan can be scoped to those contracts.

DC Circuit lets the Pentagon treat Claude's built-in restrictions as a supply-chain risk

DC Circuit judges ruled 2-1 that Claude's built-in restrictions justified the Pentagon's supply-chain risk label on Anthropic. For contractors running Claude on Defense Department work, a model's refusals are now a procurement question as well as a policy one.
