IBM and Anthropic are partnering to integrate the chatbot maker\u2019s LLMs into IBM\u2019s software portfolio.<\/p>\n
Claude will be integrated into select IBM software products \u201cto deliver measurable productivity gains, while building security, governance, and cost controls directly into the lifecycle of software development,\u201d the company said<\/a>.<\/p>\n The first product will be IBM\u2019s new AI-first integrated development environment (IDE) and will be available to select IBM clients. Early testing is revealing productivity gains averaging 45%, while maintaining code quality and security standards, IBM said.<\/p>\n The partnership is \u201cgiving development teams AI that fits how enterprises work, not experimental tools that create new risks,\u2019\u2019 said Dinesh Nirmal, senior vice president of Software at IBM, in a statement.<\/p>\n Mike Krieger, chief product officer at Anthropic, added that developers use Claude as their \u201cgo-to AI\u201d because of the company\u2019s focus on safety and reliability.<\/p>\n The goal is to make developers more productive by automating various tasks in the software development lifecycle. According to IBM, these include:<\/p>\n Modernizing applications at scale through automated system upgrades, framework migrations, and multi-step refactoring with context-awareness across large-scale codebases.<\/p>\n Generating and reviewing code with AI assistance that understands enterprise architecture patterns, security requirements, and compliance obligations.<\/p>\n Modernizing end-to-end orchestration from initial development through testing, deployment, and maintenance, as well as remediation tasks, while maintaining context across sessions.<\/p>\n Deploying a security-first development mindset by embedding security into workflows, enabling \u201cshift-left\u201d vulnerability scans, expedited FedRAMP hardening, and facilitating quantum-safe cryptographic migration.<\/p>\n As part of the partnership, IBM has released Architecting Secure Enterprise AI Agents with MCP<\/a>, a guide verified by Anthropic on the agent development lifecycle that provides its approach to designing, deploying, and managing enterprise AI agents.<\/p>\n Claude may also be integrated into other IBM products, the company said.<\/p>\n The terms of the deal were not disclosed. On Tuesday, IBM\u2019s stock rose nearly 4% to $300 following the news, and is on track to close at a record high.<\/p>\n High-profile partnerships such as this one increase IBM\u2019s visibility and credibility, and can indicate to investors that IBM is \u201cproactively driving innovation,\u201d Brianne Lynch, head of market insight at financial marketplace EquityZen, said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a continued push into the enterprise space, Anthropic on Monday announced a partnership<\/a> with Deloitte to roll out Claude to the consulting giant\u2019s 470,000 global employee workforce.<\/p>\n Anthropic recently said AI reached a turning point in cybersecurity, as its <\/strong>Claude Sonnet 4.5 model<\/strong><\/a> can now detect, analyze, and patch software flaws that were previously handled only by human experts.<\/strong><\/p>\n The post IBM and Anthropic Partnering to Automate the SDLC and Make Developers More Productive<\/a> appeared first on eWEEK<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IBM and Anthropic are partnering to integrate the chatbot maker\u2019s LLMs into IBM\u2019s software portfolio.
