Anthropic opens a Singapore office and signs an AI safety MOU with the government
Sorted AI15 OctAnthropic has opened an office in Singapore, its fifth in Asia-Pacific, and signed a memorandum of understanding with Singapore's Ministry of Digital Development and Information. The agreement covers cooperation on AI safety, security and model evaluation, research on AI adoption, and helping small and medium-sized businesses and public officers use AI. Anthropic says Singapore ranks second of 121 countries in Claude.ai use relative to population, more than 1,500 engineers and technical staff at GovTech Singapore use Claude Code, and Grab's Claude-powered sales assistant saves its sales teams about 40,000 hours a quarter. Regulated firms can now run Claude with in-region inference on Amazon Bedrock.
Why it matters: If you work with banks or government clients in Southeast Asia, in-region inference and a local team make Claude easier to clear through data and procurement checks. The SME adoption work is worth watching for training or programmes you can join.
