Anthropic releases AI models exclusive to US national security customers
Generative artificial intelligence startup Anthropic PBC today introduced a custom set of new AI models exclusively for U.S. national security customers.
The company said the new models are already deployed “by agencies at the highest level of U.S. national security,” and access is highly restricted to classified environments.
These new models, dubbed Claude Gov, were developed based on feedback from government customers to address real-world operational needs and meet national security requirements while aligning with the company’s commitment to safety.
Anthropic has attempted to make a name for itself in the AI industry by developing and training AI models designed to produce less harmful results, using a concept the company calls “Constitutional AI.” This is a learning system for AI that imbues the model with a set of positive values it should follow. The vision of this constitutional system is designed to make outputs less toxic or likely to become harmful by having another AI supervise its responses and also revise its own based on those responses.
The company said U.S. national security customers will be able to use the new models for numerous applications including strategic planning and operational support for intelligence analysis and threat assessment. “This builds on our commitment to bring responsible and safe AI solutions to our U.S. national security customers, with custom models that are built to address the unique needs of classified environments,” said Anthropic.
The specialized models have a greater understanding of documents and information within intelligence fields and defense contexts, enhanced proficiency for languages and dialects “critical to national security operations” and have improved handling for classified materials, as the models will refuse less often when asked to engage with classified information.
Anthropic previously partnered with big data analytics service company Palantir Technologies Inc. and Amazon Web Services Inc. to provide its Claude model family to U.S. intelligence and defense agencies in November.
