November 7, 2024: Anthropic, Palantir, AWS Form Defense AI Alliance - Anthropic has partnered with Palantir and AWS to offer its Claude AI models to U.S. intelligence and defense agencies. The collaboration integrates Claude into Palantirs IL6 environment on AWS, enhancing data analysis and decision-making for classified operations. This move aligns with Anthropics focus on AI safety and public-sector expansion through AWS GovCloud. Despite interest, branches like the U.S. military have been slow to adopt AI, but Anthropics strategic partnerships aim to bolster AI use in government operations. The company seeks a new funding round, potentially valuing it at $40 billion.
