Anthropic sued the Defense Department and other federal agencies on Monday over the Trump administration's move to designate it a supply chain risk and eliminate its use across the government, the latest chapter in a bitter dispute over the firm's powerful artificial intelligence model.
In a 48-page lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Anthropic said efforts by the Pentagon and President Trump to punish the company were "unprecedented and unlawful."
...
The dispute stems from guardrails that Anthropic sought to impose on the military's use of Claude, the only AI model authorized for use on classified networks. The company sought assurances from the Pentagon that Claude would not be used for mass surveillance of U.S. citizens or to power lethal autonomous weapons. The Pentagon insisted that Claude be available for "all lawful use."
The two sides failed to resolve the conflict before a deadline of Feb. 27. Mr. Trump announced that he was ordering all federal agencies "to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Anthropic would be designated a supply chain risk and cut off from defense contracts, phasing out the technology over the course of six months. The Pentagon has continued to use Claude during the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran, CBS News reported last week.
Hegseth formally issued the supply chain risk designation last week. Anthropic's lawsuit asks the court to block Hegseth's order and declare it as "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and contrary to law." The company also asked the court to find that the president did not have the authority to order the rest of the government to cut ties with Anthropic.

Anthropic FAFO’d.
“The government has to buy our stuff. Because we said so.”
How does this win in court?
How to win friends and influence people.
That puts lives and operations at risk...and that makes it a supply chain problem.
The scope and lethality of weapons systems are decisions made by the elected government, not private individuals.
Anthropic - We contracted with the Dept of War to provide the US military with AI war fighting support. The Dept of War can use our AI for anything except actually fighting a war.
This will bring the soldiers right back to their gal!
If Anthropic has a problem with this I say scrap the “supply chain risk” and go with a “National Security Risk”.
How does this win in court?
A: Fanatical third-world, libtard, TDS-demented judges in 3, 2, 1...
Democrat jury.
That, alone, screams "This is BS!"
How is this not a contract violation by Anthropic?
