This was the expected outcome, given the terrible luck Anthropic had with the panel draw. Anthropic seems to be doing fine despite the SCR designation (although they've certainly lost some business from government and defense contractor clients) so it remains to be seen whether they'll appeal. I would expect Anthropic to win before an en banc DC Circuit and likely even before SCOTUS, but they're not guaranteed any appeal at all.

JUST IN: D.C. Circuit upholds the Trump administraiton's decision to ice out Anthropic/Claude, finding the government's claim of security risks to have "ample support." https://t.co/SKfJUtmK4B https://t.co/zmCqTsb3NJ
