GoKawiilJudge Rita Lin Overturns Pentagon's 'Supply-Chain Risk' Label on Anthropic
US district judge Rita Lin ruled that the Pentagon's February designation of Anthropic as a national security risk was unconstitutional retaliation, vacating defense secretary Pete Hegseth's order and lifting sanctions imposed by nine federal agencies. The ruling does not force the Pentagon to use Anthropic's Claude models, but it removes the legal barriers that had blocked contractors from doing business with the company.
