A judge has blocked the Pentagon's attempt to blacklist Anthropic, preventing the US Department of Defense from restricting contracts or engagements with the AI company.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models, and 10 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your access to US government contracts just widened as Anthropic avoids Pentagon blacklist. If you sell AI models, this judicial pushback opens openings on defence deals previously thought closed.
