Anthropic will roll out its Claude artificial intelligence application to U.S. government agencies under a partnership with Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financials), the companies announced.
Claude for Enterprise will be made available through Palantir's FedStart program, allowing federal agencies to access the AI tool under Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 security standards. The deployment is expected in the coming months.
FedStart helps companies meet government compliance standards quickly by running products within Palantir's accredited environment. Anthropic said the partnership will allow federal workers to use Claude for writing, data analysis and complex problem-solving across agencies.
The Claude application will run on Google Cloud infrastructure, with options to tap into services like Amazon Bedrock and Vertex AI as part of a multi-cloud strategy. Karen Dahut, chief executive officer of Google Public Sector, said the move ensures federal customers have access to scalable, secure AI technologies without delay.
Anthropic's head of public sector, Thiyagu Ramasamy, said FedStart would help deliver a Claude experience to the public sector similar to what commercial users already access.
Palantir U.S. Government President Akash Jain said FedStart was created to help agencies adopt emerging technologies while maintaining strict security standards.
The latest agreement builds on an earlier partnership between Anthropic and Palantir to host Anthropic's models at Impact Level 6, the highest U.S. government security accreditation, through Amazon Web Services.
Anthropic, an AI research firm, develops business-focused AI systems. Palantir, based in Denver, supplies software and data analytics tools to government and defense clients.
