On September 25, Amazon announced on its official website that it would invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic and hold a minority stake in the artificial intelligence startup.
It is worth mentioning that Claude developed by Anthropic is regarded as the biggest competitor of OpenAI ChatGPT.
The cooperation between Amazon and Anthropic is similar to the cooperation between Microsoft and OpenAI. In the future, Anthropic will use AWS's high-performance, low-cost machine learning accelerator to train and deploy its future basic models on AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips, and AWS users can widely Use these models.
Amazon and Anthropic join forces to accelerate entry into the large model arena
Overall, according to the announcement released by Amazon, as part of the expanded cooperation:
Anthropic will use AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips to build, train and deploy its future foundational models, benefiting from the price, performance, scale and security of AWS. The two companies will also collaborate on future Trainium and Inferentia technologies.
AWS will become Anthropic's primary cloud provider for mission-critical workloads, including security research and future foundational model development. Anthropic plans to run the majority of its workloads on AWS, further providing Anthropic with advanced technology from the world's leading cloud provider.
Anthropic has made a long-term commitment to provide global AWS customers with access to future generations of its base models through Amazon Bedrock, AWS's fully managed service that provides secure access to the industry's top base models. In addition, Anthropic will provide AWS customers with the unique capability of early access to model customization and fine-tuning capabilities.
Amazon will invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic and take a minority stake in the company.
Amazon developers and engineers will be able to build with Anthropic models through Amazon Bedrock, so they can incorporate generative AI capabilities into their work, enhance existing applications, and create new ones across Amazon’s businesses. Customer Experience.
In this regard, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said: "We have great respect for Anthropic's team and underlying model, and believe that through our deeper cooperation, we can help improve the short-term and long-term experience of many customers. Customers are very satisfied with Amazon Bedrock (AWS' new hosting service). services that enable enterprises to build generative AI applications using a variety of foundational models) and AWS Trainium (AWS’s AI training chip), our partnership with Anthropic should help customers benefit from both capabilities Get more value out of it."
"We are excited to use AWS's Trainium chips to develop future foundation models," said Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic. "Since announcing support for Amazon Bedrock in April, Claude has achieved significant success from AWS customers. organic adoption. By significantly expanding our partnerships, we can unlock new possibilities for organizations of all sizes as they deploy Anthropic’s secure, advanced AI systems in conjunction with AWS’s leading cloud technologies. "
Facing competition with Microsoft and OpenAI
San Francisco-based Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI employees, has released its own ChatGPT competitor called Claude. The latest version, available in the US and UK, is capable of "complex conversations and creative content generation, as well as sophisticated reasoning and detailed guidance," the company said.
There’s no doubt that Amazon’s investment in Anthropic highlights the trend of big tech companies and new startups joining forces, which is mutually beneficial for both cloud computing companies and artificial intelligence startups.
For Amazon, it has been competing with technology giants Microsoft and Google in the field of cloud computing and trying to occupy an important position in the field of AI. Earlier, Microsoft reached a cooperation with OpenAI. As a result, Microsoft became the first company in the industry to apply the most cutting-edge large models to its own business, achieving AI leadership.
Today, Amazon is investing in big models, and as it wrote in its official announcement, "As part of the deepening cooperation, AWS and Anthropic will invest significant resources to help customers start using Claude and Claude 2 on Amazon Bedrock, including Through the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center, a team of AI experts will help customers of all sizes develop new generative AI-driven applications to transform their organizations."
Separately, Anthropic, a startup, will reinvest much of the money it raises from Amazon back into the company to pay for its time operating large clusters of computer servers.
Next, the cooperation between Amazon and Anthropic will also achieve head-on competition with Microsoft and OpenAI in the AI dimension. We will also wait and see.
