Amazon Doubles Down on Anthropic With $25B Deal

Amazon plans to invest up to $25 billion in AI startup Anthropic, expanding a three-year partnership that already includes an $8 billion investment. The new deal adds $5 billion immediately, with up to $20 billion more planned later. Anthropic has committed to spending over $100 billion on AWS over the next decade. In return, Anthropic gains access to up to 5 gigawatts of computing capacity, including AWS Trainium2, Trainium3, and future Trainium4 chips. The partnership also brings the full Claude console natively to AWS, streamlining access for more than 100,000 developers already building on the platform.
