AI News Report, September 25: PENTAGON'S CLAUDE BAN UPHELD 2-1: NO CLAUDE ON DEFENSE CONTRACT WORK

A federal appeals court in Washington ruled 2-1 on Friday that the Pentagon may keep Anthropic's Claude out of its supply chain, barring the military and its contractors from using Claude in Defense Department work. The ban began in March after Anthropic refused to drop two contract limits: no fully autonomous weapons and no mass surveillance of Americans. The court's decision rests on 41 U.S.C. 4713, which lets an agency bar a supplier from its own contracts and from any subcontract using that supplier for the agency's work.

GLM 5.2 evaded 70 percent of the time and Claude Opus 5 just 2 percent, across 50 tasks. If you trust a monitor to stop your agents, test it with a task that pushes against it.

Partners include CrowdStrike, Cursor, Snowflake and Harvey, plus a consulting network. MSPs can list their own connectors or services through the partner program.

In LangChain's test, a tuned Kimi K3 scored 96 against 90 for the base model. If you log agent traces already, this is a path to cheaper, faster agents.

The ask came from the Office of the National Cyber Director, and Anthropic has not given Mythos 5.1 to the UK institute. Allied safety testing may now wait on Washington.

It can grow by another $9 billion, and Anthropic gets a warrant for up to 5 percent of Akamai. A content network company is now an AI compute supplier.

He told NBC News each lab should manage safety itself, the same day Amodei and Altman briefed the UN Security Council. Meta's Muse agent became the top free app after its September 8 launch.

Two sources told The Washington Sun about the classified estimates; the exact figure is not public. A budget office estimate for one testing bill was about $20 million a year.
