Well, there may be a reason Anthropic apparently was not invited to the State Dinner for China Pres. Xi Jinping. The company is still engaged in 2 lawsuits against the Department of War. Today, the D.C. Circuit, in a 2-1 decision, sided with the Department of War’s classification of Anthropic’s model as a risk to national security under 41 U.S.C. § 4713.
The standard of review was whether DoW’s decision was “reasonable and reasonably explained.”
The D.C. Circuit distinguished Judge Rita Lin’s finding that the Department of War violated Anthropic’s First Amendment rights in classifying its models as a “supply chain risk” under 10 U.S.C. § 3252.
