Anthropic seeks court stay of Pentagon supply-chain risk designation

Anthropic on Wednesday sought a stay from a U.S. appeals court after the Pentagon said the company was a supply-chain risk, pending a judicial review of the case, adding ‌that the ⁠designation ⁠could cost it billions of dollars in lost revenue.

Anthropic’s latest request comes after a weeks-long dispute over technology guardrails on the use of Anthropic’s artificial intelligence tools by the U.S. military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labelled the firm a supply-chain ⁠risk and ‌barred the Pentagon and its contractors from using its AI products.

The Pentagon ⁠declined to comment on the ongoing litigation.
