The initiative will utilize Anthropic's Claude AI model to address the shortage of experts needed to implement AI in business operations.

Anthropic is launching a $1.5 billion venture in partnership with Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman, among others.
The new entity will focus on integrating Anthropic's Claude AI model into companies, starting with those owned by the investment firms.
The initiative aims to overcome the shortage of experts who can effectively apply AI technology in real-world business settings.
The venture will embed engineers within companies to redesign workflows and integrate AI into core processes, rather than operating as a traditional consulting firm.
Goldman Sachs and its partners plan to test the platform with their own portfolio companies before expanding to other mid-sized firms, particularly in sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail, and real estate.
