Claude creator, Anthropic, has already had an eventful 2026—and now it's challenging the recently renamed US Department of War. The Pentagon has threatened to designate the company as a "supply chain risk," which Anthropic is currently fighting by suing the US government.
Additionally on Monday, Anthropic requested a restraining order that would pause the Pentagon's national security blacklisting of the company, arguing the court should hear the company's suit first before carrying out the government's order. The latest update today is that an amicus brief filing suggests Microsoft may back Anthropic's cause (via Reuters).
