亚马逊正在加大对人工智能的投资,宣布向Claude背后的AI公司Anthropic投资50亿美元,使其总投资额达到130亿美元。作为回报,Anthropic承诺未来十年内在亚马逊云服务(AWS)上花费超过1000亿美元,利用高达5吉瓦的计算能力进行人工智能开发。 此举类似于亚马逊与OpenAI最近达成的类似协议,凸显了亚马逊将领先的人工智能公司锁定为关键AWS客户的战略。该协议的核心组成部分是Anthropic可以访问亚马逊定制的AI芯片——Graviton、Trainium(包括未来世代至Trainium4),以及未来芯片产能的选择权。 此举助长了关于Anthropic可能进行更大规模融资的猜测,有报道称其估值超过8000亿美元。 此次合作巩固了亚马逊在快速发展的人工智能领域中的地位。

Anthropic 公司获得了亚马逊 50 亿美元的投资。作为回报,Anthropic 承诺在未来五年内于亚马逊云服务 (AWS) 上花费 1000 亿美元。 该协议的核心是 Anthropic 将使用亚马逊定制芯片——Graviton CPU 和 Trainium AI 加速器——用于其人工智能开发。 Hacker News 上的评论员将其与 Nvidia/OpenAI 合作进行类比,认为这本质上是一种债务安排。人们希望这笔资金将增加 Anthropic 人工智能模型的容量和使用限制。也有人持愤世嫉俗态度,认为这是维持运营的必要投资。 YC (Y Combinator) 也在宣传其 2026 年夏季申请期。

Anthropic announced on Monday that Amazon has agreed to invest a fresh $5 billion, bringing Amazon’s total investment in the company to $13 billion. Anthropic, for its part, has agreed to spend over $100 billion on AWS over the next 10 years, obtaining up to 5 GW of new computing capacity to train and run Claude.

The deal echoes an agreement Amazon struck with OpenAI just two months ago, when it joined a $110 billion funding round — contributing $50 billion — that valued the ChatGPT maker at a $730 billion pre-money valuation. That deal, too, was structured partly as cloud infrastructure services rather than straight cash.

At the heart of this deal is Amazon’s custom chips: Graviton (a low-power CPU) and Trainium (an Nvidia competitor and AI accelerator chip). The Anthropic deal specifically covers Trainium2 through Trainium4 chips, even though Trainium4 chips are not currently available. The latest chip, Trainium3, was released in December. On top of that, Anthropic has secured the option to buy capacity on future Amazon chips as they become available.

We’ll see if this news is a teaser to Anthropic announcing a new funding round. VCs have reportedly been offering the AI company capital in a deal that would value it at $800 billion or more.
