  • Anthropic Will Roll Out Its Claude model to Cognizant’s 350,000 Employees

    Anthropic Will Roll Out Its Claude model to Cognizant’s 350,000 Employees

    IBL News | New York

    Anthropic announced it will roll out its flagship Claude model to Cognizant Technology Solutions’ 350,000 employees in one of its biggest enterprise deals yet.

    The deal comes at a time when Claude is ramping up efforts to sell to corporate clients, while its rival, OpenAI, is focusing on consumer-driven ChatGPT-related apps.

    San Francisco-based Anthropic stated that approximately 80% of its revenue is driven by corporate customers, and it has more than 300,000 business clients.

    Anthropic said it has a team of what it calls forward-deployed engineers—or staff embedded within enterprises to teach them how to use AI.

    Anthropic last month reached a deal with IBM and also announced that Deloitte’s over 470,000 employees will use its models.

    For Cognizant, a Teaneck, New Jersey–based professional services company, the deal with Anthropic is intended to enhance its software development capabilities, enabling the firm to transition from a system integrator to an AI builder and orchestrate multi-step workflows, with human oversight, across corporate functions, engineering, and delivery teams.

    Claude Code, along with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Agent SDK, will be used to accelerate coding tasks, testing, documentation, and DevOps workflows.

    Cognizant said, “It will deploy Claude models, Claude Code, MCP, and Agent SDK with Cognizant’s software development and AI platforms to deliver:

    • Software engineering productivity: Deploying Claude and Claude Code with Cognizant Flowsource Platform (which connects tools and teams across the software development process) to accelerate coding tasks, testing, documentation, and DevOps workflows with MCP-based access to developer tools.
    • Legacy modernization: Combining Cognizant’s modernization frameworks with Anthropic’s code understanding and transformation capabilities to speed analysis and refactoring across large codebases.
    • Agentification: Using Cognizant Neuro AI Multi-Agent Orchestration (which builds and coordinates multiple AI agents working together) and Anthropic’s Agent SDK to design reusable, domain-specific agents and multi-agent systems that operate with explicit policies, approvals, and human-in-the-loop controls.
    • Industry solutions: Developing vertical solutions, beginning with Financial Services, leveraging Cognizant Agent Foundry (which helps enterprises build and deploy AI agents at scale) with Claude to embed agentic workflows into regulated, enterprise environments.
    • Responsible AI: Advancing practices for safe deployment, monitoring, and operations at scale, aligned to enterprise governance needs and open standards such as MCP.”

  • Coca-Cola Released An Improved AI-Generated Commercial for Christmas

    Coca-Cola Released An Improved AI-Generated Commercial for Christmas

    IBL News | New York

    Coca-Cola’s holiday ads have been enhanced with an upgraded dose of AI following last year’s debut of this technology, which drew criticism from creative professionals.

    San Francisco-based Silverside developed one of the two commercials for “Holidays Are Coming,” which will run throughout the season.

     

    The Wall Street Journal commented on the quality of the video ads:

    “The wheels of the red delivery trucks in Coke’s new commercials look as if they’re all turning, rather than gliding like some did last year. The shiny-faced, spaced-out humans of 2024 have ceded their place to an expanded host of critters, letting Coke dodge the “uncanny valley” where nearly real simulations of people wind up unsettling viewers.”

    Other advertisers have also utilized generative AI to achieve speed and cost efficiencies, despite some people’s distaste for the technology and its potential to render jobs in the creative industries.

    However, Generative AI ads require considerable work: a team of artists works frame by frame, often pixel by pixel, to refine and tweak images.

    According to the trade group Interactive Advertising Bureau, 30% of TV commercials, social videos, and online videos this year are being built or enhanced using generative AI tools, up from 22% in 2023.

    Last month, tech giant Google unveiled its first completely AI-generated ad spot.
