Anthropic to Deploy Claude AI Application in U.S. Government via Palantir’s FedStart

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) announced that Anthropic will use its FedStart program to offer the Claude AI application to U.S. government agencies. Claude will be deployed with security accreditation at FedRAMP High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 (IL5) standards.

Palantir’s FedStart helps commercial tech companies meet federal compliance requirements and scale in the public sector. Through this partnership, Claude will soon be available to millions of federal employees, providing AI-assisted capabilities in writing, data analysis, and complex problem-solving.

The Claude application will be hosted on Google Cloud, utilizing a multi-cloud infrastructure that includes Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. This approach aims to deliver both high performance and operational flexibility while maintaining strict compliance.

Google Public Sector CEO Karen Dahut highlighted the collaboration as a step toward ensuring secure, enterprise-grade AI access for government. Anthropic’s Head of Public Sector Thiyagu Ramasamy noted rising interest from federal agencies and said FedStart will provide the necessary security framework.

Palantir U.S. Government President Akash Jain emphasized that FedStart was designed to fast-track adoption of emerging technologies like Claude in compliance-heavy environments.

This marks another phase in the ongoing partnership between Palantir and Anthropic, who previously collaborated to deploy Claude models in Palantir’s Impact Level 6 environment via AWS SageMaker and Bedrock.
