Amazon is to invest $5 billion in Anthropic, with plans for up to $20 billion more.
Anthroponic has strengthened its relationship with Amazon in a deal that will see the AI startup spend more than $100 billion on AWS technologies over the next decade, with Amazon planning to invest $5 billion immediately and up to $20 billion tied to business acquisitions.
The deal gives Anthropoc access to up to 5 gigawatts of current and future Trainium chip capacity to train and run advanced cloud models.
The move will build on rapidly expanding connectivity from 2023. More than 100,000 customers already run Cloud on AWS, and the two companies are working together on Project Rainier, a giant AI computer cluster built around Amazon's custom Trainium chips. AWS customers can access the Claude Platform directly within AWS, extending distribution beyond Amazon Bedrock.
The Amazon deal is part of a much broader partnership with Anthroponic. Earlier this month, the company It said it has signed a new agreement with Google and Broadcom for multi-gigawatt generation TPU capacity, which is expected to come online in 2027.
Anthropoc said the partnership represents its largest computing commitment to date and comes on the heels of annual operating revenue of nearly $9 billion by the end of 2025, up from $30 billion.
Anthroponic has been expanding its corporate channel. In March, it launched the Claude Partner Network, a $100 million commitment to training, technical support, certification, and consulting and service organizations to go to market together.
The company says the cloud is now the only frontier AI model available on AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft, pointing to its efforts to distribute itself across every major enterprise cloud rather than locking itself into a single ecosystem.
That enterprise push also extends to industry-specific and security-focused partnerships. Launched last year, Anthropic's financial services offering is built to connect the cloud with marketing and enterprise data bricks and snowflakes.
More recently, Anthropopic Mythos launched a cybersecurity initiative with key partners and expanded access to dozens of organizations responsible for critical software infrastructure, with up to $100 in usage credits and $4 million in donor-sourced security team commitments.
After valuing Anthropoc at $380 billion in a February funding round, the company has received interest in venture capital, doubling its current level to $800 billion.
