Anthropic plans to challenge a formal Pentagon supply-chain risk designation in court. CEO Dario Amodei issued a public apology for a leaked internal memo criticizing the Trump administration and OpenAI after the Defense Department officially labeled the company a security threat. The official notice banned Claude only within direct military contracts and allowed partners like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to continue their non-defense integrations.
