Amazon has announced an additional $4 billion investment in Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI startup behind the Claude chatbot. This additional funding brings Amazon’s total investment in the company to $8 billion. Despite this, Amazon remains a minority investor and does not have a seat on Anthropic’s board, reflecting limited control over the startup’s strategic decisions. As part of the partnership, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will serve as Anthropic’s primary cloud and training provider. Anthropic will utilize AWS’s Trainium and Inferentia chips to train and deploy its advanced AI models. The investment highlights Amazon’s strategy of supporting AI startups while strengthening its in-house generative AI capabilities. This move aligns Amazon with competitors like Google, which has invested $2 billion in Anthropic and holds a 10% stake.
