Anthropic Partners with UK Government to Deploy Claude-Powered AI Assistant on GOV.UK
Anthropic has been selected by the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to build and pilot an AI-powered assistant for GOV.UK, initially focused on helping job seekers navigate employment services and training resources. The system is described as agentic, maintaining context across interactions and routing users to appropriate services. The partnership builds on a February 2025 MOU and follows DSIT's 'Scan, Pilot, Scale' phased deployment framework, with Anthropic engineers embedded alongside civil servants at the Government Digital Service. A stated goal is building independent AI and AI safety expertise within the UK government.

Anthropic signs MOU with UK Government to explore AI transformation of public services
Anthropic signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to explore deploying Claude in UK public services, including government information access and digital service delivery. The partnership will also cover AI supply chain security, R&D collaboration, and workforce adaptation, drawing on Anthropic's Economic Index for labor market insights. Anthropic will continue working with the UK AI Security Institute on capability evaluation and safety. The announcement includes several existing government deployments of Claude as illustrative context.
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 partnership will provide DOE researchers access to Claude and Anthropic engineers who will build purpose-built agents, Model Context Protocol servers, and specialized Claude Skills for scientific workflows. 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.
State of Maryland Partners with Anthropic to Deploy Claude Across Government Agencies
Maryland has announced a partnership with Anthropic to deploy Claude across multiple state agencies, targeting benefits access, document processing, and workforce upskilling. Key applications include a virtual assistant for SNAP/Medicaid/WIC enrollment, AI-assisted document verification for 150,000+ monthly caseworker documents, and a community needs analysis tool. The partnership builds on a June 2025 bilingual chatbot deployment for SUN Bucks recipients and is positioned as a replicable model for other states, developed alongside the Rockefeller Foundation and Percepta.
Anthropic partners with U.S. National Labs for 1,000 Scientist AI Jam evaluating Claude on scientific tasks
Anthropic is participating in the U.S. Department of Energy's first 1,000 Scientist AI Jam, bringing together scientists across multiple National Laboratories to evaluate frontier AI models on scientific research and national security applications. Claude 3.7 Sonnet, recently launched as the first hybrid reasoning model, will be a primary subject of evaluation across tasks including hypothesis generation, experiment planning, code generation, and result analysis. This builds on Anthropic's April 2024 collaboration with the National Nuclear Security Administration, which was the first instance of a frontier lab evaluating a model in a Top Secret classified environment. The partnership signals deepening government-industry collaboration on AI for scientific discovery and national security.
Anthropic awarded $200M DOD agreement to prototype frontier AI for national security
The U.S. Department of Defense's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) has awarded Anthropic a two-year, $200M ceiling prototype other transaction agreement to develop frontier AI capabilities for national security applications. Work will include fine-tuning models on DOD data, adversarial AI risk mitigation, and responsible AI adoption across the defense enterprise. Anthropic will leverage its Claude Gov models and existing partnerships with Palantir and AWS-hosted infrastructure. This is a significant expansion of Anthropic's federal footprint, building on prior deployments with defense and intelligence agencies.
Anthropic, AWS, and Accenture form enterprise AI collaboration targeting regulated sectors
Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, and Accenture announced a three-way collaboration to accelerate enterprise generative AI adoption, with particular focus on regulated industries requiring accuracy, reliability, and data security. Over 1,400 Accenture engineers will be trained as specialists in Anthropic's models on AWS, supporting customers through fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and deployment via Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker. An early production deployment is already live: a Claude-powered bilingual chatbot called Knowledge Assist, built with the DC Department of Health. The partnership combines Anthropic's model expertise, AWS infrastructure, and Accenture's industry consulting reach.
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.
Google DeepMind partners with UK government on AI-accelerated housing planning prototype
