Amazon has finalized a $4 billion investment in Anthropic, solidifying their shared commitment to advancing generative AI. This collaboration aims to empower customers across various industries to enhance user experiences, transform businesses, and expedite their generative AI endeavors using Claude on Amazon Bedrock. As part of their strategic collaboration, Amazon and Anthropic announced that Anthropic will leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its primary cloud provider for critical workloads, including safety research and future model development. Anthropic will utilize AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips for building, training, and deploying future models. Additionally, Anthropic has committed to providing AWS customers worldwide with access to upcoming generations of its foundation models on Amazon Bedrock.

Earlier this month, access to the powerful Anthropic AI models on Amazon Bedrock was unveiled. The Claude 3 model family showcases advanced intelligence, near-human responsiveness, enhanced accuracy, and new vision capabilities. Claude 3 Opus, the most intelligent model, has set new benchmarks in reasoning, math, and coding, surpassing existing models like OpenAI's GPT-4. Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, AWS's vice president of Data and AI, highlighted the partnership's potential to unlock opportunities for secure and responsible innovation with generative AI. He emphasized generative AI's transformative potential and expressed anticipation for future developments.

Numerous global organizations, including ADP, Amdocs, Delta Air Lines, and Pfizer, are already leveraging Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic's Claude AI to develop generative AI applications tailored to their needs. To accelerate the adoption of generative AI, AWS, Anthropic, and Accenture have joined forces to assist organizations, especially in highly-regulated sectors, in responsibly adopting and scaling generative AI solutions. Further demonstrating their commitment to advancing generative AI, Amazon announced an additional $2.75 billion investment in Anthropic, bringing the total investment to $4 billion. This investment is part of a broader strategic collaboration between the two companies aimed at advancing generative AI technologies.
