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.

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 Partners with Allen Institute and HHMI to Deploy Claude in Frontier Life Sciences Research
Anthropic has announced flagship partnerships with the Allen Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) to embed Claude into active scientific workflows at both institutions. HHMI's collaboration, anchored at Janelia Research Campus, focuses on developing specialized AI agents integrated with scientific instruments and analysis pipelines. The Allen Institute partnership targets multi-agent systems for multi-modal biological data analysis, including multi-omic integration, knowledge graph management, and experimental design coordination. Both partnerships emphasize interpretability, researcher autonomy, and transparency, with the stated goal of compressing months of manual analysis while keeping human scientists in control of scientific direction.
Google DeepMind supports U.S. Department of Energy on Genesis AI science initiative
Google DeepMind has announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy on a program called Genesis, aimed at accelerating scientific discovery and innovation using AI. The initiative represents a formal government-industry collaboration at the national level. Details on specific technical approaches or model deployments are not provided in the announcement.
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 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.
Anthropic Offers Claude Enterprise and Government Access to All Three U.S. Government Branches for $1
Anthropic is offering Claude for Enterprise and Claude for Government to all three branches of the U.S. federal government — executive, legislative, and judiciary — for $1 for one year, removing cost barriers to AI adoption. The offer includes FedRAMP High-certified models, continuous frontier model updates, and technical support, accessible via existing GSA schedule procurement and infrastructure partnerships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Palantir. Existing government deployments cited include a $200M DoD agreement, 10,000 daily users at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and a DC Department of Health multilingual services deployment. Anthropic is calling on other AI companies to make similar commitments to U.S. government access.
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.
