What happened

A federal court in San Francisco has ruled that the Pentagon unlawfully classified Anthropic as a supply chain risk. The Department of Defense blacklisted the company in retaliation for its public criticism of government AI policy. The designation formally remains in place because a parallel case in Washington is still pending. The ruling still sends an important signal ahead of Anthropic's planned IPO this fall.
