ccording to the reports from The Information this Thrudsay, the giant Amazon is considering making a second multi-billion-dollar Amazon investment in Anthropic,
which represents an artificial intelligence startup. This new Amazon investment is planned to be very similar to the previous one, with just a few changes. Now, after this investment, the giant Amazon wants the artificial intelligence startup, Anthropic AI, to use its developed silicon hosted on Amazon Web Services in order to train the artificial intelligence technology.
Not long ago in September last year, the company also announced a $4 billion Amazon investment in Anthropic, in which they confirmed that all Amazon users and customers would have early access to the technology made by Antrhopic.
Also, the report stated that the cloud services giant requested Anthropic to use a large number of servers that are powered by Amazon chips. It should be mentioned that until now Anthropic preferred the Nvidia chips, but maybe the Amazon investment represents a good deal for the artificial intelligence startup.
About this situation, Amazon as well as Anthropic had declined to make further comments.
Anthropic represents an artificial intelligence startup that focuses mostly on AI safety and also on research in artificial intelligence technology. Was co-founded by some former OpenAI executives in 2021. Currently, Anthropic has about 500 employees with Dario Amodei as the CEO of the company.

At the beginning of the year, Anthropic AI company estimated that they would spend over $.27 billion in order to train and also expand their AI products and technology. For several months, the company also has been exploring new funding at a $40 billion valuation, according, to The Information, with a growing necessity to secure an investment soon.
