A big partnership has emerged in the artificial intelligence space and for once it doesn’t involve OpenAI.
Software heavyweight IBM and up-and-coming AI research startup Anthropic have announced they’re teaming up.
The partnership will see Anthropic’s Claude AI large language model inserted into select IBM software products. First up will be IBM’s integrated development environment (IDE), a package of developer tools that can enhance productivity.
The deal is an opportunity to expand Anthropic’s push into enterprise, as it seeks to take advantage of IBM’s corporate infrastructure. Financial terms for the deal weren’t disclosed.
“This partnership enhances our software portfolio with advanced AI capabilities while maintaining the governance, security, and reliability that our clients have come to expect,” said Dinesh Nirmal, IBM’s SVP of software, in a press release.
Anthropic is on something of a roll: On October 6, it announced an expanded alliance with Deloitte to make Claude available to 470,000 people across the firm’s network.
“Claude has become the go-to AI for developers at the world’s largest companies because of our focus on safety and reliability,” said Mike Krieger, Anthropic’s chief product officer.
Making enterprise AI effective
Tech companies have been spending money hand over fist to scale their AI offerings, but the efficacy of the investments is yet to be seen.
An August report from MIT found that 95% of companies are seeing no return on AI investments. A recent report by Benchmarkit and Mavvrik found that 80% of companies miss their AI infrastructure forecasts by more than 25%.
The Anthropic-IBM partnership could be a big step toward taking enterprise from AI experimentation to full deployment.
