Anthropic opens self-hosted private testing for Agent, with execution records retained by the enterprise

Anthropic announced the opening of Claude Managed Agents for self-hosted private testing. Enterprises can deploy the AI Agent's operating framework, execution sandbox, access credentials, and session history on their own cloud servers or internal data centers, without having to rely on Anthropic for hosting. In May of this year, Anthropic allowed enterprises to self-host the sandbox, enabling AI to run code on internal servers, but the core systems responsible for scheduling Agents, calling models, and saving session records were still managed by Anthropic.

The new version also places these control systems within the enterprise intranet. When enterprises allow Agents to automatically fix code, test software, or troubleshoot system failures, they can restrict the servers that can be accessed, manage API keys, and use OpenTelemetry to log and review each operation step.

The Claude model itself still runs in the cloud. When the Agent infers, the relevant prompts, code, and tool results still need to be sent to the model service provider. Enterprises can choose to call Claude through Anthropic, Amazon, Google, or Microsoft's cloud services, or they can route all model requests through their own servers to uniformly control access permissions, calling channels, and costs. This feature is currently only available for private testing to approved applicants, and enterprises need to contact the Anthropic customer team to obtain deployment documents.
