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.

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.

Defense sellers should plan Pentagon systems without Claude

Federal appeals judges voted 2-1 to uphold the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic over the limits it puts on how Claude can be used. Teams with Claude inside military deliverables should budget for a replacement while Anthropic weighs further review.

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.
