Anthropic edge further into business AI market with launch of ‘Workspaces’

AI start-up Anthropic has launched a new feature called ‘Workspaces’ which targets enterprises directly.

Large language models (LLM) like ChatGPT are frequently used to complete tasks within organizations. Now, Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, is actively targeting businesses for deployments of its generative AI products.

The OpenAI rival has been backed by tech giants like Amazon and Google and just weeks ago introduced ‘Claude Enterprise’ which is its AI assistant for corporate use.

The announcement of ‘Workspaces’ on Tuesday (Sep, 10) marks another move towards cementing itself in the business AI market. In a blog post Anthropic describes the tool as being “unique environments that enable you to organize resources, streamline access controls, and set custom spend and rate limits on a more granular level.”

What can you do with Anthropic’s Workspaces?

The Anthropic team has laid out five different use cases for Workspaces.

They say monthly spend limits can be implemented through Workspaces allowing businesses to have “fine-grained control over” API usage costs.

The managing of rate limits is also said to be possible now, with rate limits for each workspace being able to be independently adjusted while staying within the overall limit. This aims to help better manage the load across various deployments and departments.

Account security has been improved too, with user permissions able to be assigned at the workspace level. Each workspace can be monitored to gain insights into the API usage, with costs broken down too which could help with tracking and optimizing resource allocation.

API keys, usage data, and settings can be organized into “logical groups that align with your projects or environments” with the tool.

The feature has already been rolled out and is available to all Anthropic API users in the Console.
