The US Department of Defense has stated that the Anthropic Ban remains in effect, following Lutnick's claim of reaching a settlement with the government.

Dynamic Beating AI News Update: The U.S. Department of Defense has stated that the restrictions on the artificial intelligence company Anthropic remain in place. This statement contradicts previous remarks by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick, who claimed that the differences between the two parties had been resolved.

The Deputy Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Emil Michael, posted on social media that Anthropic is still considered a "supply chain risk" by the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. Luttnick had previously stated that Anthropic had addressed long-standing issues with the Trump administration and mentioned an improved relationship between the company and the government.

Earlier, Anthropic faced restrictions due to government concerns that its models could be misused for capabilities such as cyberattacks.
