By 11 October 2026 the Pentagon had not withdrawn its supply-chain risk designation of Anthropic: the California case docket (3:26-cv-01996) shows no departmental withdrawal after the 27 August judgment, and the BBC reported on 5 October 2026 that the department had stopped using Anthropic products under the designation.
The Pentagon market resolves YES if the US Department of Defense withdraws, rescinds or replaces its supply-chain risk designation of Anthropic by 11 October, recorded in a departmental statement or a filing in the company's California case. A court order suspending enforcement is not a withdrawal by the department; where the record is unclear, Reuters and the Financial Times decide.
We found seven such reports since February 2024. In each, a leading AI developer said publicly that state-linked or armed groups had used its own model for attacks or weapons work. We checked whether, within 30 days, the developer limited who may use the model: by blocking a country or region, by asking users or organisations to prove who they are, or by taking a model or feature off general release. Banning the named accounts and adding filters did not count.
