Amazon has increased its funding for Anthropic to $4 billion. As part of this invesment, Amazon has a minority stake in Anthropic and Anthropic is using Amazon’s cloud infrastructure.
Amazon has announced an additional $2.75 billion in investment for the AI company Anthropic. This builds on top of a previous $1.25 billion investment last year meaning that the total invested has now risen to $4 billion.
As part of the deal for the money, Amazon has been given a minority stake in Anthropic allowing it to help guide the company’s direction. It is also able to offer Anthropic’s models on Amazon Bedrock, an AWS fully-managed service that allows developers to build generative AI features into their apps and services.
Another important aspect of the agreement is that Anthropic will train and deploy its models on the AWS Cloud using Trainium and Inferentia chips.
