A panel of the DC Circuit found that the designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk was not unlawful, dismissing Anthropic’s legal challenge. The designation, made by Pete Hegseth, resulted in Anthropic being disqualified from selling its model to any government agency. The court noted that the difference between the two legal challenges was due to different statutes.
