Legal action Provisional 86% confidence first seen
A U.S. federal judge ruled against the Pentagon’s attempt to restrict or ban Anthropic’s Claude AI models, finding the government’s basis for penalties and the model ban insufficient. The decision blocks enforcement of the restriction and indicated the Pentagon’s claimed “backdoor access” was not supported, with further appeals expected.
