Anthropic is negotiating a joint venture with a consortium of private equity firms, including Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman.

The proposed partnership would establish a dedicated consulting service to integrate Anthropic’s Claude AI technology into the firms' various portfolio companies.

This arrangement provides Anthropic with a direct sales and distribution channel to a diverse array of businesses across multiple sectors.

Private equity firms aim to use the venture to streamline AI deployment and enhance the operational efficiency of their holdings. Discussions are currently ongoing.
