Judge sides with Anthropic to temporarily block the Pentagon’s ban

A federal judge granted Anthropic a preliminary injunction against the Pentagon's blacklisting, finding that the government banned the AI company from contracts due to its 'hostile manner through the press' - suggesting retaliation for public criticism. This represents a significant escalation in tensions between major AI companies and the U.S. military establishment, with implications for how government power intersects with AI development and corporate speech.
