Anthropic, Palantir and AWS use AI tools to improve data analysis and decision making for intelligence agencies while US defense partners.

An innovative partnership combining next generation defense technology to build out and enhance the defense and intelligence operations in the United States was announced by Anthropic, Palantir Technologies, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). As part of the integration of Palantir’s AI Platform (AIP), U.S. Intelligence and Defense agencies will have access to Anthropic’s Claude 3 and 3.5 models via AWS.

This partnership demonstrates advancements in deploying defense technologies for essential government operations. Integrating Claude with Palantir enables agencies to handle large data sets for target detection and rapid decision-making, including document review and trend analysis, all within an AWS-certified secure environment.

As Palantir AIP operates in an IL6 environment, Palantir operates with stringent rules of access on classified content for government agencies. This collaboration is intended to improve US defense and intelligence decision making, says CTO Shyam Sankar. In addition, being integrated in Palantir's AI features cuts down the completion times of a complex underwriting process of a major insurer from two weeks to only three hours.

In addition, Levy acknowledged that this collaboration will spur the enhancement of technology to be used in the defense domain within the public sector, improving the level of operational efficiency and intelligence analysis. Tied to Claude models’ visibility in AWS, the current growth emphasizes the importance of AI in the enhancement of U.S. defense systems.
