Anthropic disclosed in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that Amazon invested $4 billion in its work in exchange for access to Amazon cloud services (AWS) Trainium and Inferentia processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stated that it would provide “enhanced support” for Amazon Bedrock\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, which creates foundation models, and “secure model customization and fine-tuning” for businesses. Amazon teams will also be able to use Bedrock to construct models from Anthropic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re announcing that @Amazon<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> will invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic. The agreement is part of a broader collaboration to develop reliable and high-performing foundation models. pic.twitter.com\/lPJ03oqr6C<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>— Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) September 25, 2023<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

In addition, Amazon is reportedly acquiring a “minority stake” in Anthropic through this transaction. The latter stated that this has not affected its governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs outlined in this policy, we will conduct pre-deployment tests of new models to help us manage the risks of increasingly capable AI systems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Former members of Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the creator of the viral AI chatbot<\/a> ChatGPT, founded the AI startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest development follows Anthropic's August announcement of a $100 million investment from the South Korean telecommunications behemoth SK Telecom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative resulted from a collaboration between Anthropic and SK Telecom to create a multilingual large language model (LLM) for the Telco AI Platform of the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthropic has recently been a part of significant AI community<\/a> movements. In July, it joined Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and others in forming the “Frontier Model Forum,” which aims to self-regulate the development from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also participated in initiatives led by the United States government to develop and regulate artificial intelligence, including a cybersecurity challenge aimed at bolstering its “critical infrastructure.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
