Pentagon Blacklists Anthropic Over Supply-Chain Risk
On Thursday the Pentagon designated Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, effectively blacklisting the AI startup from US government contracts. In an internal memo obtained by The Information, CEO Dario Amodei said the Trump administration opposed the company because it had not donated to the president and lacked public praise. The move blocks federal business with Anthropic and raises industry-government procurement concerns.
