Anthropic has opened an office in Singapore, its fifth in Asia-Pacific, a day after signing a memorandum of understanding with the city-state’s government on AI safety, security, and model evaluation. The Raffles Place office joins sites in Tokyo, Bengaluru, Seoul, and Sydney and will house sales, technical, customer success, partner, and public policy staff. General manager for ASEAN Dale Finlay said businesses are moving from experimentation to deployment, which is when local presence matters. GovTech has more than 1,500 engineers using Claude Code; Grab’s BriX sales assistant runs on Claude; and DBS uses it for development and day-to-day work. Claude Sonnet 5 is available with in-region inference on Amazon Bedrock in Singapore, so prompts and responses stay in-country. Under the MOU, Anthropic will hold technical exchanges on model evaluation, testing, and incident response and support responsible adoption, including among smaller businesses.
