Fujitsu announced a strategic partnership with Anthropic on May 27, planning to integrate the AI model Claude into internal systems and customer solutions. The collaboration targets cyber defense, government, finance, healthcare, and defense sectors, using Claude alongside Fujitsu's own AI models Kozuchi and Takane. The deal follows a similar Hitachi-Anthropic partnership announced eight days earlier.
Fujitsu will embed Claude into its Forward Deployed Engineer model, sending engineers to customer sites to design and implement AI use cases quickly. The company also plans to build a next-generation security operations model where humans and AI collaborate on rapid response. Fujitsu aims to combine Claude with its proprietary Kozuchi and Takane models, tailoring AI combinations per customer. The partnership is close to a redefinition of systems integrators in the AI era, according to the announcement.
