Anthropic x Amazon just got bigger Amazon is investing another $5B (total now $13B), and in return Anthropic is committing to spend $100B+ on AWS over the next 10 years. They’re getting access to Amazon’s custom chips like Trainium (their Nvidia competitor), including future versions that aren’t even out yet. Plus priority access to new capacity as it comes online. Feels very similar to Amazon’s recent OpenAI deal where cloud usage was a big part of the investment. Anthropic is basically locking in massive compute now to support future models. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-amazon-compute
