See how this story connects

Anthropic and Palantir announced on 7 November 2024 that US intelligence and defence agencies could use Claude 3 and 3.5 models inside Palantir’s AI Platform, hosted on AWS. The service runs in Palantir’s environment accredited by the Defense Information Systems Agency at Impact Level 6.

Why it matters

A frontier model became available for classified US defence work through accredited infrastructure, so agencies could use it on secret data without building their own hosting.
