Anthropic has launched a new line of AI models, Claude Gov, explicitly tailored for US national security operations. Built with direct input from government clients, top-tier agencies already use the models.
These classified-use models were developed with enhanced safety testing and are optimised for handling sensitive material, including improved handling of classified data, rare language proficiency, and defence-specific document comprehension.
The Claude Gov models reflect Anthropic's broader move into government partnerships, building on its collaboration with Palantir and AWS.
As competition in defence-focused AI intensifies, rivals including OpenAI, Meta, and Google are also adapting their models for secure environments.
The sector's growing interest in custom, security-conscious AI tools marks a shift in how leading labs seek stable revenue streams and deeper ties with government agencies.
