More on that IBM-Anthropic tie-up:
Anthropic is a top rival to ChatGPT-creator OpenAI. Amazon (AMZN) is one of the startup's largest investors. The partnership with IBM comes as Anthropic is making a broader push into offering tools for enterprises, including software to help automate coding. Last week, Anthropic release Claude Sonnet 4.5, which it described as the best coding model in the world.
The Anthropic partnership is among several announcements from IBM Tuesday morning, ahead of the company's annual TechXchange developer conference. Through a news release, the 114-year-old tech company highlighted its Watsonx Orchestrate offering, which is said has more than 500 tools to help businesses deploy customized AI agents.
IBM is among enterprise tech providers racing to offers software that enables AI agents, which can go beyond the capabilities of AI chatbots by autonomously completing tasks. Amazon, Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL) and Salesforce (CRM) are among tech giants to offer agentic AI tools.
