Amazon is reportedly in talks to make a second multibillion-dollar investment in artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic, mirroring its initial $4 billion deal from March 27. As reported Thursday (Nov. 7) by The Information’s Anissa Gardizy, this deal could have a catch.
The report said Amazon is pushing for Anthropic to use a significant number of servers powered by Amazon’s own AI chips, known as Trainium.
