Amazon plans multi-billion dollar investment in ChatGPT competitor developer

Amazon, one of the largest players in the cloud computing market, is considering a new multi-billion dollar investment in Anthropic, an AI startup that is a competitor to OpenAI. Last September, Amazon already invested $4 billion in Anthropic, which allowed it to offer its customers early access to the startup’s innovative developments. As part of the partnership, Anthropic uses Amazon’s cloud servers and computing power to train its AI models.

Amazon has reportedly offered to use more servers with Anthropic’s proprietary chips to boost the startup’s computing power to train its AI models. On the one hand, this helps strengthen Amazon’s position in the cloud technology market, and on the other hand, it emphasizes the company’s intention to demonstrate the capabilities of its own hardware solutions. However, Anthropic prefers to use servers equipped with Nvidia chips, which indicates the startup’s increased requirements for the power of the equipment used for processing big data and training complex AI models.

Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI executives Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei, and has attracted significant attention from major tech corporations since its inception. Last year, the startup received $500 million in investment from Google’s parent company, Alphabet, which also pledged to invest an additional $1.5 billion.

For Amazon, strengthening its partnership with Anthropic is an important step in competing in the cloud technology market, where companies such as Microsoft and Google are leading. In an increasingly competitive environment, Amazon’s expansion of its AI portfolio allows it to attract more enterprise customers interested in cutting-edge technologies integrated with its cloud services. By providing its customers with access to Anthropic’s developments, Amazon strengthens its position as a provider of innovative AI solutions.
