The Pentagon stated that the restrictions on Anthropic are still in effect

The U.S. Department of Defense stated that the restrictions on the artificial intelligence company Anthropic remain in effect, which is inconsistent with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo's earlier claim that the two sides had resolved their differences.

Emil Michael, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, posted on social media that Anthropic is still classified as a "supply chain risk" by the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. Raimondo previously stated that Anthropic had resolved long-standing issues with the Trump administration and noted that the company's relationship with the government had improved.

Anthropic had previously faced related restrictions due to government concerns that its models could be misused for capabilities such as cyberattacks.
