D.C. Appeals Court Lets Pentagon Blacklisting of Anthropic Stand While Case Proceeds

A U.S. appeals court declined to pause the Pentagon’s designation of Anthropic as a national-security supply-chain risk, leaving a key part of the government’s blacklist in place while the company’s challenge moves forward. The D.C. Circuit said Anthropic raised substantial and novel questions, but denied an emergency stay after finding that the balance of equities favored the government in an active military-technology dispute.
