U.S. District Judge Rita Lin told the Pentagon's lawyers on Tuesday that the government's campaign against Anthropic looked like "an attempt to cripple" the company, according to multiple reports from a 90-minute hearing in San Francisco federal court. Lin called the Defense Department's supply chain risk designation "troubling" and questioned whether the government broke the law by going far beyond simply dropping Anthropic as a vendor. A written ruling is expected within the next few days.
