California partnered with Anthropic to make Claude available to all state agencies and local governments.
They will get a 50% discount on access to Claude, as part of a “first-of-its-kind collaboration” that also includes complimentary workforce training, technical assistance, and “workflow input from Anthropic developers,” per a release. On the state level, government employees will use Claude to help draft and summarize documents, analyze information, and supplement day-to-day work, per the release.
