Claude becomes the first AI tool offered statewide through California's new Statewide Information Technology Shared Services (SITeS) portal, covering every state agency plus cities and counties that opt in.\n\nNewsom framed the deal as a contrast to Washington's approach: \"AI should not replace the human work of government; it should help our workers move faster, solve problems more effectively, and deliver better results for Californians.\" The agreement lands months after the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a \"supply-chain risk\" and steered a major contract to OpenAI instead."}}
