Amazon and Alphabet Invest in Anthropic
Amazon and Alphabet own significant stakes in Anthropic, a prominent generative AI company, with Amazon holding approximately 18% and Alphabet about 14%. This investment stems from multiple funding rounds primarily in exchange for cloud computing services, as Anthropic utilizes both Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) for its AI model training.
Both companies have developed custom AI chips to enhance their cloud platforms, ensuring competitiveness in the rising demand for AI computing power. With Anthropic’s valuation increasing, the stakes held by Amazon and Alphabet are expected to grow significantly when the company eventually goes public.
