Amazon mulls new multi-billion dollar investment in Anthropic

Amazon.com is in talks for its second multi-billion dollar investment in artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, the Information reported on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The cloud services giant announced an investment of $4 billion in the OpenAI rival in September last year, saying its customers would gain early access to Anthropic’s technology.

Amazon has asked Anthropic, which uses Amazon’s cloud services to train its AI model, to use a large number of servers powered by chips developed by the cloud computing major, the report said.
