Amazon's Bold $4 Billion Bet on the Next AI Revolution
Description
Amazon increased its investment in AI startup Anthropic to eight billion dollars by committing an additional four billion. This follows a previous agreement where Amazon initially committed four billion, including a first tranche of 1.25 billion and an additional 2.75 billion earlier this year. Anthropic selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its primary cloud provider and plans to utilize AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips for model development and deployment. Amazon and Anthropic aim to create a secure platform for advanced AI technology through their collaboration. This investment aligns with a broader trend where major tech companies, including Microsoft, Nvidia, Salesforce, and Google, invest heavily in AI startups. Additionally, Elon Musk's generative AI startup xAI raised five billion dollars, increasing its valuation to fifty billion, with backing from notable investors.
