The Claude-maker says the new model will provide improved handling of classified documents and better support for foreign languages that are critical to US security interests.
OpenAI competitor Anthropic, which makes the Claude chatbot, is rolling out a new set of AI models built specifically for US national security use cases.
Governments using these types of large language models for national security is nothing new; both OpenAI and Anthropic’s tech is already used by the US government for these types of use cases. Meanwhile, governments farther afield, including Israel, have allegedly used US-made AI models—directly or indirectly (though some of these claims have been denied).
Anthropic says the new models—which come as part of its government-focused offering Claude Gov—will provide benefits like improved handling of classified materials and a greater understanding of documents and information “within the intelligence and defense contexts.
