Anthropic has teamed up with Palantir and AWS to sell its AI family of models called Claude to defense customers.

An emotionally-manipulable AI in the hands of the Pentagon and CIA? This'll surely end well Palantir has announced a partnership with Anthropic and Amazon Web Services to build a cloudy Claude platform suitable for the most secure of the US government's defense and intelligence use cases.

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.

“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 Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar.

On Thursday, industry giants Amazon, Palantir, and Anthropic announced they would partner to allow the feds to harness the power of AI. Specifically, the partnership lets employees at intelligence agencies and the Department of Defense use San Francisco-based Anthropic’s generative AI models Claude 3 and 3.

Palantir and Anthropic are partnering with Amazon Web Services to make Anthropic's Claude models available to U.S. intelligence and defense agencies, the companies announced Thursday. Why it matters: As Washington rushes to bring AI to every nook and cranny of government,
