Amazon and Anthropic have announced an expanded partnership that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said reflects his company's progress in making chips, and that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said will allow his firm to focus on artificial intelligence research.
Anthropic announced on Monday that Amazon has agreed to invest a fresh $5 billion, bringing Amazon's total investment in the company to $13 billion. Anthropic, for its part, has agreed to spend over $100 billion across the next ten years on AWS, obtaining up to 5GW of new computing capacity to train and run Claude.
Anthropic also committed to spending $100 billion on Amazon technologies that can help build and deploy A.I. systems.
Amazon is investing another $5 billion in the maker of Claude.
Two months after investing $50 billion in OpenAI and striking a $100 billion cloud deal, Amazon announced a similar arrangement with its original AI partner, Anthropic: up to $25 billion in new investment and a $100 billion-plus commitment to AWS over 10 years.
An Amazon spokesperson said Monday (April 20) that the company looks forward to responding in court to a motion filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta as part of an antitrust lawsuit launched in 2022.
Amazon will invest up to $25 billion in Anthropic. The AI startup will spend over $100 billion on Amazon Web Services, including AI chips, over the next decade.
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares are trading higher in Monday's after-hours session after the company announced an expanded strategic collaboration with Anthropic.
