The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Anthropic in its bid to block the Department of War from designating it a “supply chain risk.”

Fresh off its March 26 victory in a California court, the AI company also had to file its appeal to the War Department’s designation in Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, a three-judge panel at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against granting it a preliminary injunction, though the court agreed a speedy final decision was needed.
