Amazon will invest up to $4bn in AI lab Anthropic as part of a compute power deal. This will see the maker of the Claude chatbot train and deploy its future models using Trainium and Inferentia chips developed by the Amazon's cloud division, AWS. This could prove an important strategic move for the company as it looks to cement its position as the public cloud market leader and head off competition from Microsoft and Google, both of which have invested heavily in AI over recent months.

Anthropic described the deal, announced earlier this week, as a strategic partnership, combining the safe and steerable models built by the start-up with the secure and reliable infrastructure of AWS, the market leader in public cloud infrastructure. The exact nature of the investment isn’t clear but will see Amazon invest up to $4bn in the AI lab. This eclipses the $300m Google Cloud invested in Anthropic in 2022.
