Anthropic goes to court

Anthropic Takes the Defense Department to Court

Anthropic is taking the Pentagon to court. The company filed two federal lawsuits on Monday challenging the Defense Department's Feb. 27 decision to designate Anthropic a "supply chain risk," a label typically reserved for foreign adversaries. 

What Anthropic is arguing: The company calls the DOD's actions "unprecedented and unlawful" and accuses the administration of retaliation.

• Anthropic argues it has the right to express views about the limitations of its AI and issues of AI safety—and the government can't use its power to punish that expression.

• The company's CFO said in a related filing that the government's actions could reduce Anthropic's 2026 revenue by "multiple billions of dollars."

The fallout so far: President Trump directed federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's technology, and the supply chain risk designation impacts how Anthropic can do business with companies working with the Defense Department. Still, Claude had been used in US military operations, including intelligence assessments and identifying targets in the ongoing conflict with Iran, even after the Pentagon ousted the model, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Industry response: Dozens of scientists and researchers at OpenAI and Google DeepMind filed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic, arguing the designation could harm US competitiveness and hamper public discussions about AI risks and benefits. Even Microsoft, one of the largest government contractors in the US, is siding with Anthropic.

Qualcomm & Neura Robotics Partner to Build AI’s ‘Brain And Nervous System’

German robotics startup Neura Robotics inked a long-term partnership with Qualcomm to build the next generation of robots and physical AI. The deal is the latest coupling in the emerging physical AI industry between robotics startups and larger tech companies. 

How they’re teaming up: 

• Neura will use Qualcomm's Dragonwing Robotics IQ10 processors as reference designs in its robots. The IQ10 chips, announced at CES earlier this year, are designed to work with autonomous mobile robots and humanoids. 

• The two companies plan to develop standardized architectures and use Neura's Neuraverse platform to train, simulate, and manage fleets of robots connected through a shared intelligence network.

• Through the partnership, Qualcomm gets an intimate look at how robotic companies can use its processors.

The bigger picture: This isn’t the first time we’ve seen robot-AI partnerships. Boston Dynamics partnered with Google DeepMind in January to speed the development of its Atlas humanoid robot. Figure has linked up with OpenAI and BMW. Agility Robotics is piloting deployments with major e-commerce players. As more AI companies look to physical AI as the next major market for their technology, they are going to want a seat at the table of how their tech is being used.

OpenAI Acquires Promptfoo to Secure Its AI Agents

OpenAI announced Monday it has acquired Promptfoo, an AI security startup founded in 2024 to test security vulnerabilities in LLMs and protect them from online adversaries. Promptfoo's technology will be integrated into OpenAI Frontier, its enterprise platform for AI agents.

What OpenAI gains: Promptfoo's technology will allow its agent platform to perform automated red-teaming, evaluate agentic workflows for security concerns, and monitor activities for risks and compliance needs. The capabilities include testing LLM applications against adversarial prompts, including prompt injection and jailbreak attempts, and evaluating whether models follow safety and reliability guidelines.
