Amazon's additional investment in Anthropic could reach up to $25 billion, with the latter promising to spend over $100 billion on AWS in the next decade
Amazon announced that it will invest up to $25 billion in Claude's parent company Anthropic, with $5 billion available immediately, and an additional $20 billion to be injected in batches depending on the achievement of business milestones.
Previously, Amazon had invested a total of $8 billion in Anthropic, and after this round, the total investment will reach $33 billion. In exchange, Anthropic has committed to spending over $100 billion on Amazon Web Services (AWS) over the next ten years and plans to deploy about 1 gigawatt of computing power through Trainium2 and Trainium3 chips by the end of the year, with a long-term goal of 5 gigawatts. After the announcement, Amazon's stock price rose about 2.7% in after-hours trading.
It is worth noting that earlier this year, Amazon announced an investment of up to $50 billion in OpenAI, indicating that it is simultaneously betting on multiple leading AI companies to solidify its leadership in cloud infrastructure.
