Anthropic has partnered with investment giants Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs to form a new AI services company.

As Anthropic continues to push into the enterprise market with its AI models – it already has major partnerships with the likes of Accenture, Deloitte and PwC – this new partnership aims to reach mid-size companies that are clients of the three investment giants, and beyond.

The new company will be a standalone entity with Anthropic engineering and partnership resources embedded directly within its team.

It aims to serve as “an accelerant” in bringing AI solutions to mid-size companies, according to Blackstone, and will initially work to drive adoption across a customer base of the investment firms’ portfolio companies, and subsequently be made available to independent companies.

Applied AI engineers from Anthropic will work alongside companies’ engineering teams to identify where Claude can have the most impact, Anthropic said, and then help build custom solutions “to support customers over the long term”.
