Here's your morning TMB Tech Minute for Friday, March 27.

A federal judge has halted the Trump administration's move to designate anthropic a supply chain risk.

In a ruling issued yesterday, Judge Rita Eflin of the Northern District of California found that the government

trampled free speech protections when it classified the artificial intelligence company as a security threat

and barred government use of its models.

She ordered the administration to desist from applying President Trump's directive that federal agencies

stop using anthropics technology.

The ruling hands an anthropic and early victory in its legal fight with the Pentagon,

which stems from a dispute over the Claude maker's self-imposed limitations on the use

of its AI tools in a military setting.

An anthropic spokeswoman said the company remains focused on working productively with the government.

A defense department spokesman didn't immediately comment.

One of China's most promising AI startups is considering changing its corporate structure

in order to pave the way for an initial public offering in Hong Kong.

People familiar with the matter say moonshot AI,

which has its assets held by a parent company registered in the Cayman Islands,

is considering changing that holding structure to list an entity either on the Chinese mainland or in Hong Kong.

The shift comes as Beijing tightens oversight over so-called red chip companies

that have their main operations based in China,

but are incorporated in another country,

which gives them more flexibility seeking foreign investment moonshot decline to comment.

And Toshiba Mitsubishi Electric and Rome are exploring a possible merger

of their power semiconductor businesses in order to cope with increasingly fierce international competition.

Rome says a merger by the three Japanese companies would create the second largest entity

in the power device market behind German chip maker and Phineon technologies.

Rome also says the integration would achieve significant synergies

in the fast growing AI server and data center market.

The Kyoto-based chip makers says the company's plan to set up an operating company

that would integrate their respective power device businesses,

but have yet to determine the detailed structure.
