TLDR

The Hindu reports that Anthropic announced the partnership on September 18, 2026, with each company committing at least $1 billion over five years to build capacity for independent evaluation of Anthropic’s frontier AI models. Pulse 2.0 describes a dedicated team of evaluators working directly alongside Anthropic’s internal teams and safety partners. The Straits Times says the work will include deliberately trying to make AI systems misbehave to expose flaws.
