Cognizant expands Google Cloud partnership for Gemini
Cognizant announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud to accelerate enterprise AI adoption by jointly delivering Gemini Enterprise solutions, a portfolio of reusable agents, and a Frontier Certified Engineer delivery model. Cognizant is also adopting Gemini Enterprise and Google Workspace internally, targeting deployment to 100,000 associates (with plans to scale to 200,000) and certifying at least 10,000 professionals. The collaboration includes sector-focused go-to-market offerings (retail, healthcare, communications, financial services), contact-center solutions using Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience, and rapid agent development through Cognizant’s Agent Foundry. The companies say the combined approach aims to shorten deployment timelines, move clients from experimentation to measurable outcomes, and scale agentic AI solutions into production environments.
Cognizant, Anthropic Expand Partnership to Embed Claude
Cognizant has expanded its strategic partnership with Anthropic and become a Global Premier Partner in the Claude Partner Network, embedding Anthropic’s Claude across Cognizant’s industry platforms and internal engineering workflows. Cognizant says it is deploying Claude in production across regulated industries (manufacturing, life sciences, insurance) with measurable outcomes — for example, reducing contract review time and improving extraction accuracy — while scaling training and certification through its Frontier workforce model. The collaboration emphasizes domain context, delivery scale, and operationalizing LLM capabilities for enterprise production use cases.
Apheris and Ginkgo Launch Antibody Developability Consortium
Berlin-based Apheris and Ginkgo Bioworks' Ginkgo Datapoints have launched the Antibody Developability Consortium, an industry collaboration to build the largest standardized antibody developability dataset. Founding members include AbbVie, argenx, Lundbeck, and Takeda, who will contribute proprietary antibody sequences. The consortium aims to train AI models on 10,000 antibodies using Apheris's federated data infrastructure, which allows members to train and refine models without exposing proprietary data. Ginkgo Datapoints will lead scientific design and execution, while Apheris provides the secure environment for model training. The initial dataset is expected by early 2027. This initiative addresses the lack of large, standardized datasets for predicting antibody manufacturability and developability, potentially reducing development time and costs for pharmaceutical companies.
