Amazon announced an additional $5 billion investment into Anthropic as its partnership with the AI startup intensifies. This brings Amazon’s total investment in Anthropic to over $13 billion, including an initial $8 billion. The company also indicated it might funnel up to $20 billion more, contingent upon Anthropic hitting certain performance milestones.
Anthropic, based in San Francisco, committed to investing over $100 billion in Amazon Web Services over the next decade to support AI development. “Building the infrastructure to handle rapidly increasing demand is essential,” stated Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic. “Our partnership with Amazon enables us to continue pushing forward in AI research and to bring Claude to our users.”
Earlier this April, Anthropic reported its revenue tripled quarter-on-quarter, surpassing $30 billion annually — outpacing OpenAI for the first time. Last week, Amodei met with U.S. officials at the White House, where discussions focused on potential collaborations and establishing shared protocols for expanding AI technology responsibly.
This marks a shift from earlier reactions, in February, when President Donald Trump ordered the federal government to halt the use of Anthropic’s AI after the firm refused to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to its Claude models. The company challenged this directive in court, and Hegseth flagged Anthropic as a potential supply chain risk.
Additionally, Anthropic recently introduced its latest AI model, Mythos, but chose not to make it publicly available due to cybersecurity concerns.
