US EditionHegseth Wants Pentagon to Dump Claude, but Military Users Say It’s Not so Easy
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Defense said Anthropic poses an 'unacceptable risk' to national security and argued continued access to warfighting infrastructure threatens supply chains.

- Anthropic sued, claiming the DOD infringed its First Amendment rights and seeking a preliminary injunction with a hearing next Tuesday, while OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft filed amicus briefs supporting it.
- Many organizations criticized the DOD's handling of Anthropic and argued it could have ended the $200 million contract, while Anthropic did not immediately respond and said the label could cost billions in revenue.
