A Washington appeals court has ruled that the Pentagon's decision to sideline the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic was lawful, according to Le Monde.
The dispute traces back to February, when Anthropic refused to let the US military use its Claude model without restriction, the report said, a decision that reportedly led to the company's exclusion from a Pentagon arrangement.
Legal reasoning limited in report
Le Monde's report did not detail the specific legal reasoning behind the appeals court's ruling, nor did it specify what restrictions Anthropic had sought to place on the military's use of its model.
The report did not include comment from Anthropic or Pentagon officials reacting to the ruling, and it did not say whether Anthropic plans to pursue further appeal.
Further details on the broader implications for AI companies working with the US government were not included in the available report.
