Planet Labs has announced that it intends to use Anthropic’s Claude, a large language model.

The company says the collaboration will combine Planet’s deep stack of daily geospatial data with Claude’s advanced AI capabilities, such as reasoning and pattern recognition abilities, to analyse complex visual information at scale.

“By using Claude on our satellite imagery, we take a significant step towards making it easier to extract value from satellite data,” said Planet CEO and co-founder Will Marshall.

“AI models also greatly benefit from robust stacks of data, like ours, so I am very excited to see what the future holds for this collaboration.”

Planet says that the use of Claude could enable near real-time pattern recognition and anomaly detection at global scale.

“Claude will help Planet identify and analyse patterns in complex geospatial data at a scale and speed previously impossible,” said Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s CEO and cofounder.

“Claude’s unique ability to interpret vast amounts of data could improve how the world detects environmental changes, monitors global infrastructure, and responds to natural disasters.”
