Overview
- Amazon and Anthropic announced Monday a deeper pact that includes a $5 billion investment now and up to $20 billion more tied to commercial milestones.
- Anthropic committed to spend more than $100 billion on AWS over 10 years and secured access to as much as 5 gigawatts of Trainium capacity for training and deployment.
- Anthropic said about 1 gigawatt of Trainium2 and Trainium3 capacity is expected to come online this year to ease recent strain on its Claude services.
- The agreement spans multiple future generations of Amazon’s Trainium chips and will let AWS customers use Anthropic’s full Claude console from within AWS.
- Wall Street responded with price target hikes from BofA and KeyBanc and projections that AWS growth could accelerate toward roughly 28% to 30% as Anthropic’s revenue run rate nears $30 billion.
