Amazon announces an investment of up to 4 billion dollars in Anthropic, the company behind Claude: 1.25 billion upfront, with an option to reach the full amount, in exchange for a minority stake. Anthropic's governance does not change.
In return Anthropic picks AWS as its primary cloud provider for mission-critical workloads and will use Amazon's chips to train and run its models. Claude, already available on Amazon Bedrock, gets broader support there: companies will be able to customize and fine-tune it on their own data.
