This state of affairs will likely last ~20 minutes until Google decides to 1-up Amazon at their favorite rivalry: hitting Anthropic with the money stick. [embedded post]
We're expanding our collaboration with AWS. This includes a new $4 billion investment from Amazon and establishes AWS as our primary cloud and training partner. https://anthropic.com/...
AWS doubles investment in @AnthropicAI to $8bn to become ‘primary cloud & training’ provider (was already primary cloud but not exclusive) & working jointly on future Tranium accelerators, which is what it said in Sept 23 when first $4bn was announced. Is this more than new $$?
Scaling AI needs an infra hyperscaler OpenAI has MS (and a bit of Oracle). Anthropic has AWS (and a bit of Google). Google has its own infra. Meta has its own + AWS + a whole open source community. What does Apple have in cloud?
On this episode of DeepTech315, @dougclinton and I discuss $NVDA's earnings, the regulatory challenges facing $GOOG, and $AMZN's increased investment in Anthropic amidst regulatory scrutiny. [video]
Working closely with AWS, we're developing future generations of Trainium chips. Designing both hardware and software together lets us optimize every aspect of frontier model training.
