Anthropic forms $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation
Anthropic and the Gates Foundation are committing $200 million over four years in grant funding, Claude usage credits, and technical support across global health, life sciences, education, and economic mobility. Key technical deliverables include healthcare AI benchmarks and evaluation frameworks, disease modeling integrations with the Institute for Disease Modeling, drug/vaccine screening tools for neglected diseases, and agricultural AI datasets. The partnership is led by Anthropic's Beneficial Deployments team and includes public goods such as open datasets and benchmarks. This represents a significant scaling of Anthropic's non-commercial AI deployment strategy.

Anthropic Forms New Enterprise AI Services Company with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs
Anthropic has announced the formation of a new AI services company co-founded with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs, backed by a consortium including General Atlantic, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital. The firm will deploy Claude into core operations of mid-sized enterprises—community banks, manufacturers, regional health systems—using embedded Applied AI engineers from Anthropic alongside the new company's own engineering staff. The venture extends Anthropic's existing Claude Partner Network (which includes Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC) by targeting a market segment that lacks in-house resources for frontier AI deployments. This represents a significant structural move by Anthropic to capture enterprise deployment revenue through a dedicated services vehicle rather than purely through API licensing.

The deal is managed through Anthropic's Beneficial Deployments team and builds on an ALX education partnership announced in November 2025.
Anthropic launches Claude Corps: $150M fellowship program placing AI-trained workers at nonprofits
Anthropic is launching Claude Corps, a national fellowship program committing $150M to train 1,000 early-career fellows in Claude usage and place them full-time at nonprofits across the US for 12-month stints at $85,000 salaries. The program is structured as a three-way partnership between Anthropic (funding and Claude expertise), CodePath (employer of record and training), and Social Finance (measurement and scaling vehicle). Anthropic frames the initiative as a direct response to AI-driven labor disruption, aiming to both equip nonprofits with AI capabilities and build AI skills in workers absorbing economic change. The $150M initial commitment is positioned as a foundation for a larger, scalable model.
Anthropic Partners with US Department of Energy on Genesis Mission for AI-Driven Scientific Discovery
Anthropic and the US Department of Energy have announced a multi-year partnership under the DOE's Genesis Mission initiative, targeting AI deployment across energy, biological sciences, and scientific productivity domains.

The collaboration has potential reach across all 17 US national laboratories and builds on prior work including a nuclear risk classifier with the National Nuclear Security Administration and Claude deployment at Lawrence Livermore. This represents a significant expansion of Anthropic's US government footprint.
