The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has launched its second Supercharged Sandbox cohort, and Anthropic is coming along for the ride.

The AI company will supply its Claude models to firms accepted into the program, giving them direct access to frontier AI tools while operating under the FCA's watchful eye.

The sandbox is the regulator's way of letting financial services companies experiment with AI in a controlled setting, testing real applications without the full weight of live regulatory exposure.

Anthropic's involvement marks a notable step for the Claude lineup into regulated finance, an area where model providers have mostly stayed at arm's length until now.
