Amazon and Anthropic are once again strengthening their relationship, with both parties making huge financial commitments. Today, Amazon announced it will invest $5 billion in the AI company, along with $20 billion in additional payments if certain milestones are met. The news follows Amazon’s initial $4 billion investment in Anthropic in 2023 and a second $4 billion investment from 2024.
On Anthropic’s part, it has committed to continuing to use Amazon’s custom Trenium silicon for its AI models. The latest agreement will see Anthropic promise to spend more than $100 billion on AWS technologies over the coming decade. It will secure up to 5 gigawatts of current and future chip capacity to train and power its models. Their partnership is also bringing Anthropic’s cloud platform to Amazon Web Services customers within the AWS portal, removing the need for additional credentials.
