Amazon is investing an additional $5 billion in AI startup Anthropic, deepening their strategic partnership in the fast-growing artificial intelligence space.
The agreement is part of a broader deal in which Anthropic will spend over $100 billion over the next decade on Amazon’s cloud platform and AI chips.
Amazon may invest up to $20 billion more in the future, depending on business milestones, adding to its earlier $8 billion stake in the company.
Anthropic, known for its Claude AI models, will rely heavily on Amazon Web Services and its custom-built Trainium chips to scale its AI systems.
The partnership highlights the growing race for computing power in AI, where cloud giants and AI firms are forming deep financial and technological alliances.
With over 100,000 customers already using Claude via AWS, the deal positions Amazon as a key infrastructure provider in the global AI ecosystem.
