Appeals court allows Pentagon's national security designation of AI company Anthropic to stand without temporary relief

A US appeals court rejected Anthropic's request for a temporary block on the Pentagon's blacklisting decision

The Pentagon had designated Anthropic as a national security risk, affecting the company's ability to work with federal contracts

Anthropic sought emergency intervention from the appeals court to prevent the designation from taking immediate effect

The court's refusal to block the decision allows the Pentagon's classification to remain in place while legal proceedings continue
