Anthropic requested federal appeals-court reconsideration of the ruling upholding its designation as a national-security supply-chain risk.

· ComputeLabs Research · from the October 13, 2026 edition

Anthropic asked a federal appeals court in Washington to reconsider its September 25 ruling. That ruling upheld the Trump administration’s designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk threatening U.S. national security.

The company argues that the judges misinterpreted the law by permitting the Department of Defense to act without a prior determination process. Anthropic also alleges that the designation retaliated against its statements about AI safety; that allegation is the company’s legal position, not a finding established by the supplied report.

The reported development is a request for reconsideration, not a reversal of the designation or a successful appeal. The source provides no subsequent court decision, hearing schedule, or description of relief granted in response.
