Amazon is doubling down on artificial intelligence with an additional $4 billion investment in Anthropic, bringing its total stake to $8 billion. The AI startup, known for its Claude chatbot, will use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its primary cloud partner, leveraging AWS’s chips to train and deploy its models.
This investment cements Amazon’s role in the generative AI race, where companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta vie for dominance in a market projected to exceed $1 trillion in a decade. AWS customers will also gain early access to tools for customizing Anthropic’s AI with proprietary data, boosting appeal for enterprise clients.
Anthropic recently unveiled groundbreaking capabilities, including AI agents that mimic human-like computer navigation, signaling its potential to reshape industries.
