AI firm Anthropic has become the latest firm to give the United States government access to its AI models for national security purposes — following a similar lead to Meta’s announcement earlier this week.
US defense departments will be granted access to Anthropic’s Claude 3 and 3.5 AI models, which will be integrated into Palantir’s AI Platform and secured on Amazon Web Services, Palantir <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241107699415/en/Anthropic-and-Palantir-Partner-to-Bring-Claude-AI-Models-to-AWS-for-U.S.-Government-Intelligence-and-Defense-Operations" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">said</a> in a Nov. 7 statement.
“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,” Palantir’s chief technology officer Shyam Sankar explained.
It will allow the US government to process vast amounts of data more rapidly, make data-driven <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/president-biden-signs-fisa-702-bill-agencies-nsa-surveillance-powers" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">intelligence insights</a> and allow officials to make more informed decisions in time-sensitive situations, Anthropic Head of Sales and Partnerships Kate Earle Jensen said.
Claude became available on Palantir’s AI platform earlier this month and can now be used in Palantir’s defense-accredited environment, dubbed Palantir Impact Level 6 (IL6).
IL6 is reserved for data systems containing “secrets” deemed critical to <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-treasury-department-would-do-more-for-national-security-by-leaving-tornado-cash-alone" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">national security interests.</a> It requires “maximum protection” against unauthorized access and tampering.

Anthropic and Palantir’s partnership follows a similar announcement by Meta on Nov. 4, which <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/meta-allows-us-military-access-llama-ai-model-for-national-security" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">opened up its Llama AI model</a> to the US military and defense contractors.
Meta said Llama would aim to streamline the US military’s complicated logistics and planning, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/singapore-terrorism-threat-crypto-adoption-2024" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">track terrorist financing</a> and strengthen America’s <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/8-most-common-cyberattacks-and-how-to-prevent-them" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">cyber defenses.</a>

Palantir, a software company primarily offering data services for defense, is also participating in Meta’s initiative.
Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Lockheed Martin, Accenture and Deloitte are among the several firms supporting Meta’s Llama offering to the US military.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT-creator firm OpenAI is also reportedly <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/rashishrivastava/2024/10/15/openai-is-going-after-defense-contracts/" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">seeking</a> to establish a closer relationship with US defense departments.
