Anthropic is working with International Business Machines to make its artificial-intelligence models available inside IBM’s software, the two companies said Tuesday, in an attempt at uniting the AI startup with an IT stalwart. IBM’s latest integrated developer environment, or IDE, is the first product in which Anthropic’s flagship Claude AI models will be directly available. The tool is aimed at software engineers working for large businesses, and helps to automate development tasks like modernizing code. IBM said it plans to add Claude into more of its software soon. As part of the deal, IBM will also produce a guide that helps businesses build and expand their use of AI agents, the bots that can independently perform tasks. The guide includes Model Context Protocol, or MCP, an open-source standard introduced by Anthropic that connects models to external systems.
