California Governor Gavin Newsom has reached an agreement with Anthropic to provide the state government with half-price access to its Claude AI system.
The deal, announced on June 30, will allow California agencies to use the AI tool at a reduced rate.
Officials described the arrangement as a way to expand access to advanced AI capabilities across government operations.
The agreement focuses specifically on Claude, Anthropic's flagship model, with no further details released about pricing or rollout timeline.
