Amazon is plowing up to US$4b into AI/LLM company Anthropic, with AWS to "become Anthropic’s primary cloud provider for mission critical workloads, providing our team with access to leading compute infrastructure in the form of AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips, which will be used in addition to existing solutions for model training and deployment". Which is interesting as earlier this year Anthropic announced they're "leverage Google Cloud's cutting-edge GPU and TPU clusters to train, scale, and deploy its AI systems" so it seems like Anthropic's compute needs are so massive that they need AWS and GCP. Maybe they'll hit up Microsoft for some cash in a few months and possibly Oracle, because why the hell not. Amazon also gets a "minor stake" in Anthropic for its $4b investment.
