The brief
Thomson Reuters has launched its own proprietary AI model, Thomson, trained on Westlaw and Practical Law content. This move comes after the company had been using Anthropic’s Claude model.
The New Stack was first to report that Thomson Reuters had trained its own AI model but continued to use Anthropic’s. Later reporting from LawSites, SiliconANGLE, and Business Insider confirmed the launch of Thomson, Thomson Reuters’ proprietary large language model.
Artificial Lawyer published an interview with Thomson Reuters CEO Steve Hasker, who discussed the company's AI strategy. Thomson Reuters is now using its own AI model for legal work, aiming to reduce costs associated with third-party AI services.
