Amazon will invest up to $25 billion in Anthropic in a broad deal
Amazon and Anthropic are once again strengthening their ties, with significant financial commitments from both sides. Today, Amazon announced it would invest $5 billion in the AI company, along with up to $20 billion in additional payments if certain milestones are met. This news follows Amazon’s initial $4 billion investment in Anthropic in 2023 and a second $4 billion investment starting in 2024.
On Anthropic’s side, the company has committed to continuing to use Amazon’s custom Trainium silicon for its AI models. The latest deal will see Anthropic promise to spend more than $100 billion on AWS technologies over the next decade. It will secure up to 5 gigawatts of current and future chip capacity for training and powering its models. Their partnership also brings Anthropic’s Claude platform to Amazon Web Services customers within the AWS portal, eliminating the need for additional credentials.
