Anthropic teams up with Palantir and AWS to sell AI to defense customers
Anthropic has teamed up with Palantir and AWS to sell its AI, the family of models called Claude, to defense customers.
Anthropic on Thursday announced that it’s teaming up with Palantir, the data-mining firm, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide U.S. intelligence and defense agencies access to Anthropic’s Claude family of AI models.

The news comes as a growing number of AI vendors, for strategic and fiscal reasons, look to ink deals with U.S. defense customers. Meta recently revealed that it’s making its Llama models available to defense partners, while OpenAI is seeking to establish a closer relationship with Defense Department.
Anthropic head of sales Kate Earle Jensen says the company’s collaboration with Palantir and AWS will “operationalize the use of Claude” within Palantir’s platform, leveraging AWS hosting. Claude, which became available in Palantir’s platform earlier this month, can now be used in Palantir’s defense-accredited environment, Palantir Impact Level 6 (IL6), hosted on AWS infrastructure.
The Defense Department’s IL6 is reserved for systems containing data deemed critical to national security, and requiring “maximum protection” against unauthorized access and tampering. Information in IL6 systems can be up to “secret” level — one step short of top secret.
