Anthropic has confirmed a new $4 billion investment from Amazon, bringing their total funding to $8 billion and strengthening their partnership in AI development.
With the previous billion-dollar injection, Anthropic is now utilizing AWS as its primary cloud, and both companies will collaborate on the development of Amazon Trainium chips.
As part of the expanded partnership, Anthropic's foundational models will be adapted to run on Amazon's Trainium, moving away from Nvidia chips for increased cost-effectiveness.
Speculation exists around Amazon potentially leveraging Anthropic's innovations to enhance the AI capabilities behind its voice assistant, Alexa, marking a significant technological upgrade.
