Microsoft says Anthropic’s products remain available to customers after Pentagon blacklist

After the U.S. Department of War labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk (a company whose products could pose security or operational risks to government systems), Microsoft announced it will continue offering Anthropic's Claude AI models to most customers through platforms like Microsoft 365 and GitHub, except to the Pentagon. The decision comes as other defense companies are moving away from Anthropic's technology toward competing AI providers like OpenAI.
