Amazon and Anthropic have announced an expanded partnership that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said reflects his company’s progress in making chips, and that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said will allow his firm to focus on artificial intelligence research. In this deepened collaboration, Anthropic has committed to spend over $100 billion over the next 10 years on Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies, including Trainium and Graviton hardware, according to a Monday (April 20) press release. In addition, AWS customers will be able to access the full Anthropic-native Claude console from within AWS, using their existing AWS contract with no additional credentials, contracts or billing relationships, the release said. Separately, Amazon will invest another $5 billion in Anthropic today and up to an additional $20 billion in the future, depending upon certain commercial milestones. These will join the $8 billion Amazon already invested in Anthropic, per the release. “Anthropic’s commitment to run its large language models on AWS Trainium for the next decade reflects the progress we’ve made together on custom silicon, as we continue delivering the technology and infrastructure our customers need to build with generative AI,” Jassy said in the release. Amodei said in the release that Anthropic needs to build infrastructure to keep up with growing demand for Claude as people find the platform increasingly essential to their work. “Our collaboration with Amazon will allow us to continue advancing AI research while delivering Claude to our customers, including the more than 100,000 building on AWS,” Amodei said. Amazon’s previous investment of $8 billion in Anthropic was announced in two parts. In September 2023, Amazon invested $4 billion in Anthropic and Anthropic made AWS its primary cloud partner. Then, in November 2024, Amazon invested another $4 billion in Anthropic and Anthropic made AWS its primary training partner. It was reported in July 2025 that Amazon was mulling a new multibillion-dollar investment in Anthropic that would deepen a partnership that has become crucial to the futures of both companies. That report said the companies were already working on one of the world’s largest data center projects and collaborating on sales of Anthropic’s technology to Amazon’s cloud computing customers.
