Anthropic Develops AI for US Military

AI startup Anthropic has released a set of models for clients in the US national security sector.

Claude Gov models are deployed “in institutions of the highest level.” Access to the technology is granted “only to those working in such a classified environment.”

The neural networks are created “based on direct feedback from government clients to meet real operational needs.”

“As a result, we have developed a set of Claude models that meet the unique requirements of our national security clients while maintaining Anthropic’s unwavering commitment to reliability and responsible AI development,” the company stated in its blog.

The models can be used for a wide range of tasks—from strategic planning and operational support to intelligence analysis and threat assessment.

Claude Gov provides enhanced performance for critical government needs and specialized tasks, including:

• improving work with classified materials;
• deep understanding of documents and information in the context of intelligence and defense;
• enhancing proficiency in languages and dialects;
• understanding and interpreting complex data for cybersecurity.

“This reaffirms our commitment to providing responsible and secure AI solutions to US national security clients, as well as special models designed to meet the unique needs of a classified environment,” the firm added.

In November 2024, Anthropic opened its AI technologies to US intelligence and defense agencies. Previously, Meta had taken a similar step.
