US EditionAnthropic seeks appeals court stay of Pentagon supply-chain risk designation
Anthropic challenges Pentagon's supply-chain risk label, warning of potential multi-billion-dollar revenue losses and impacts on over 100 enterprise customers, while seeking judicial review.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic sought a stay from a U.S. appeals court of the Pentagon's "supply-chain risk" designation pending judicial review after the Department of Defense barred its AI products, and it filed a separate lawsuit earlier this week in California.
- After weeks of dispute over guardrails on military use, Anthropic resisted giving the Pentagon unrestricted access to Claude, seeking guarantees on surveillance and autonomous-weapons limits.
- In filings, Anthropic said more than 100 enterprise customers contacted the company and lawyers warned of potential lost revenue in 2026 reaching billions of dollars.
- The Pentagon action canceled a $200 million Pentagon contract signed in July 2025, allowing OpenAI to fill the void while AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and defense contractors may have to certify zero exposure to Anthropic.
