Amazon plans to invest up to $4 billion in a generative artificial intelligence startup called Anthropic, which promises to rival ChatGPT, in the e-commerce giant’s latest move to push into the AI ​​space.
“As part of the investment, Amazon will take a minority stake in Anthropic,” the startup revealed in a series of tweets on X/Twitter on Monday.
Anthropic also shared that the deal will give the San Francisco-based company access to Amazon Web Services data centers and homegrown chips to train its language models and power other applications.
AWS is the world’s largest vendor of on-demand cloud computing and data storage platforms, with more than 100 physical data centers worldwide.
