Amazon has agreed to invest up to $25 billion in Anthropic, on top of the $8 billion that it has poured into the artificial intelligence startup in recent years, as part of an expanded agreement to build out AI infrastructure.
In the announcement on Monday, Anthropic said it’s committed to spending more than $100 billion on Amazon Web Services technologies over the next 10 years, including current and future generations of Trainium, Amazon’s custom AI chips. Anthropic said it’s secured up to 5 gigawatts of capacity for training and deploying its Claude AI models.
“Anthropic’s commitment to run its large language models on AWS Trainium for the next decade reflects the progress we’ve made together on custom silicon, as we continue delivering the technology and infrastructure our customers need to build with generative AI,” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a statement.
Amazon’s investment includes $5 billion into Anthropic now, with up to $20 billion in the future tied to “certain commercial milestones,” according to a release. The initial investment is at Anthropic’s latest valuation of $380 billion.
Anthropic said in the release that it will bring nearly 1 gigawatt total of Trainium2 and Trainium3 capacity online by the end of the year.
With all of the major hyperscalers competing to build out AI capacity as quickly as possible, Amazon said in February that it expects to shell out roughly $200 billion this year on capital expenditures, mostly on AI infrastructure.

They’re not doing this to make our lives better. Don’t forget your booster.
5 GW of power.
Gosh.
Does that mean I don’t gotta buy LED’s no more?
They told me it was “for da erf”.
Heh. And Doc Brown was making a fuss over just a piddly little 1.21 GW.
.
So 6.5% of Anthropic Class C shares? What is Amazon’s total holdings of the company now?
