IBM brings Claude to watsonx and integrates Claude across IBM Consulting
IBM announced that Claude 3.5 Sonnet would be available natively across IBM's software portfolio (starting with watsonx Code Assistant for Z) and that IBM Consulting's 160,000+ consultants would have access to Claude. The arrangement positions Anthropic as IBM's frontier-model partner for enterprise software and integrator workloads, mirroring the Anthropic-Deloitte 470K-seat enterprise template from one week earlier.
