Infosys and Anthropic are set to launch Agentic AI systems

Anthropic and Claude have announced a collaboration to develop independent AI systems that can manage complex tasks and businesses in the telecommunications and financial sectors. 

Agentic AI systems have gained institutional popularity in recent times because they are built to function independently and are capable of handling complex tasks.

Infosys and Anthropic are set to launch Agentic AI systems

Infosys has announced a major strategic partnership with Anthropic, in which Claude’s models will be integrated into Infosys Topaz to develop agentic AI systems that can independently manage entire business processes.

Days before this announcement, Anthropic reportedly raised $30 billion in Series G funding, valuing the company at $380 billion. The company plans to use this money to expand its global footprint in India and has already announced that it will be opening a new office in Bengaluru, India.

Its new collaboration with Infosys is an important piece of its expansion strategy because it targets India’s massive developer community and the global demand for enterprise-grade AI.

The collaboration is launching a dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence in the telecommunications sector. Here, the companies are building AI agents to manage “intelligent automation” for carriers.

These agents will handle network operations, which are often incredibly complex and strictly regulated.

In the case of financial services, large banks must constantly check for fraud and follow strict government rules. The new AI solutions will allow firms to detect risks faster and automate the reporting of compliance.

Furthermore, the agents can provide personalized financial advice by looking at a client’s entire account history and current market trends simultaneously.

Claude models will be used to run simulations and design products in the manufacturing and engineering industries. This reduces the time spent on research and development (R&D) because the AI can test thousands of design iterations before a single physical prototype is built.

What role does ‘Claude Code’ play?

A major part of this deal involves a tool released by Anthropic to help developers write and manage software called Claude Code. Infosys has already deployed Claude Code within its own Exponential Engineering group, allowing Infosys developers to write, test, and debug code much faster than before.

Infosys and Anthropic plan to use Claude to help large companies still run on traditional systems that are expensive and difficult to update, to migrate to modern cloud infrastructure. Recent reports suggest that nearly 4% of all public commits on GitHub are now authored by Claude Code.

Global IT service providers like Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Wipro are also spending billions to secure their spots in the AI market.

In late 2025 and early 2026, the industry saw a 33% rise in mergers and acquisitions as companies rushed to buy AI expertise. For instance, Capgemini recently acquired an agentic AI operator for $3.3 billion, and TCS has signed major deals to modernize data centers for AI workloads.

Even Anthropic is positioning itself as the primary alternative to the Microsoft-OpenAI alliance. While OpenAI is closely tied to Microsoft’s Azure cloud, Anthropic is the only major AI model available on Amazon Web Services (Bedrock), Google Cloud (Vertex AI), and Microsoft Azure.

The company released Claude Opus 4.6 on February 5, 2026, which introduces the context compaction feature. It allows AI agents to perform much longer tasks without losing their “memory” of the project. It also features adaptive thinking, where the AI can decide when it needs to spend more time reasoning through a difficult problem.
