Anthropic partners with Palantir, AWS to bring AI models to defense agencies

Amazon-backed (NASDAQ:AMZN) generative artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is partnering with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide U.S. intelligence and defense agencies access to its Claude 3 and 3.5 family of AI models on AWS.

The partnership will enable the use of Claude within Palantir’s products to support government operations, such as processing vast amounts of complex data rapidly.

Claude, a next-generation AI assistant built by Anthropic, became accessible within Palantir AI Platform (AIP) on AWS earlier this month.

This partnership facilitates the responsible application of AI, allowing for an “integrated suite of technology to operationalize the use of Claude within Palantir’s AI Platform, while leveraging the security, agility, flexibility, and sustainability benefits provided by AWS.”

“Our partnership with Anthropic and AWS provides U.S. defense and intelligence communities the tool chain they need to harness and deploy AI models securely, bringing the next generation of decision advantage to their most critical missions,” said Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer, Palantir.
