Newsom strikes deal for discounted Claude AI access

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.

Anthropic has restricted unlimited access to its Claude AI models through third-party agents like OpenClaw, requiring heavy users to pay extra via API keys or usage bundles starting April 4, 2026. The policy shift, announced over the weekend, addresses severe system strain from high-volume agent tools previously covered under $20 monthly subscriptions.

The White House has permitted Anthropic to provide its advanced Claude Mythos 5 model to more than 100 US organizations. The decision follows weeks of negotiations between the company and government officials.

Anthropic announced on Wednesday the launch of Claude Managed Agents, a new product aimed at simplifying the creation and deployment of AI agents for businesses. The tool provides developers with ready-made infrastructure to build autonomous AI systems. It addresses a key barrier in automating work tasks amid the company's rapid enterprise growth.

In the wake of Anthropic's unveiling of its powerful Claude Mythos AI—capable of detecting and exploiting software vulnerabilities—the US Treasury Secretary has convened top bank executives to highlight escalating AI-driven cyber threats. The move underscores growing concerns as the AI is restricted to a tech coalition via Project Glasswing.
