DC Circuit upholds Pentagon supply-chain risk label on Anthropic

A federal appeals court in Washington DC declined to overturn one of two Pentagon designations that flagged Anthropic as a national-security supply-chain risk, letting that label stand indefinitely.

Anthropic says it is weighing further appeals, including to a larger DC Circuit panel or the Supreme Court.
