DC Circuit's 2-1 ruling leaves Pentagon contractors choosing between Claude and the department

Anthropic lost a 2-1 appeals ruling on the Pentagon's supply-chain-risk label, so the department's contractors still cannot use Claude. Civilian agencies can still buy from Anthropic after a California ruling the government did not appeal, so contractors serving both have to follow the stricter Pentagon rule.

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.
