Anthropic said it has introduced a custom set of Claude Gov models built exclusively for U.S. national security customers.
Anthropic — which is backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google — said the models are already deployed by agencies at the highest level of U.S. national security, and access to these models is limited to those operating in such environments.
The company added that Claude Gov models were built based on direct feedback from its government customers to address real-world operational needs, and underwent the same safety testing as all of its other Claude models.
The Claude Gov models have improved handling of classified materials, as the models refuse less when engaging with classified information. The models have a greater understanding of documents and information within the intelligence and defense context.
The models also have enhanced proficiency in languages and dialects vital to national security operations and also have improved understanding of complex cybersecurity data for intelligence analysis, according to the company.
Anthropic noted that the effort builds on its commitment to bring responsible and safe AI solutions for its U.S. national security customers.
Last month, Anthropic unveiled its next generation of Claude models called Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 for coding, advanced reasoning, and AI agents.
