With the popularization of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), the race by technology giants to invest in or create their own AIs has increased. Since September 2023, the Amazon has made investment contributions in anthropic, an American startup responsible for Claudia 3, a direct competitor of OpenAI. 114q3b
The contribution of Amazon already sum US $ 4 billion, but despite this, the big tech holds a minority stake and has no influence on the Board's decisions. In addition to the amount invested, Amazon is the main provider of cloud space, providing the technology Amazon Web Services (AWS), and technological devices for the development of AI computing chips to improve the system Claude.
“A anthropic will use the chips AWS Trainium e inference to build, train, and deploy its future models and has made a long-term commitment to providing AWS customers around the world access to future generations of its foundational models on Amazon Bedrock, the fully managed service from AWS.”

The agreement between the companies was announced in September 2023, and the transfer was divided into two stages: the first in the amount of US $ 1,25 billion and the second and final transfer, carried out at the end of March, from US $ 2,75 billion, totaling US$4 billion. The goal is to accelerate AI improvement Claude, developed by Anthropic and used by companies like Slack, Notion and Quora, in addition, of course, to putting Amazon in the race for generative AI.
For Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, big tech collaboration is a great way to foster and improve customer experience with AI in a short space of time.
“Customers are very excited about the Amazon Bedrock, the new managed service from AWS that allows companies to use multiple FMs [acronym for future foundation models] to build generative AI applications, as well as the AWS Trainium, the AWS AI training chip, and our collaboration with anthropic should help customers get even more value from these two capabilities.”

The choice of anthropic from AWS as the main cloud provider reflects the company's strategy of excelling in improving its products in a secure environment. It is worth mentioning that the startup's focus is corporate clients that demand large amounts of data processing.
Anthropic will train and deploy future FMs on the AWS cloud using our Trainium and Inferentia chips. AWS chips will be the engines behind FMs. Additionally, Anthropic will collaborate on the development of future Trainium and Inferentia technology
Amazon statement
The partnership between technology giants and AI startups has significant impacts in the competition for the most advanced generative AI. OpenAI is also backed by a giant, Microsoft, which, like Amazon, provides cloud services such as Microsoft Azure for AI development.
Although these companies do not have as much influence within startups, they are the ones driving advancement and improvement within the cloud. As this software becomes more popular, it is not clear what the real implications of big tech are in the use of data and the improvement of generative technologies.
Claude vs. ChatGPT l5z3d
A anthropic, founded in 2021 by former OpenAI engineers, has stood out in the AI market. According to ranking Chatbot Arena, recently published, the Claude 3 Opus, one of the versions of Claudia 3, exceeded the GPT4 from OpenAI, undefeated since launch.
The research is carried out by Organization of Large Model Systems, an institution that works in partnership with students and teachers from University of California, Berkeley, UC San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University.
The performance of Claude and other AIs such as Gemini, from Google, has caught the attention of s who are migrating to other software.
O Claude offers several functionalities that range from dialogues, content generation to the creation of complex reasoning tasks with very detailed instructions. As Amazon published, AI currently has 100.000 tokens, which allows it to process large amounts of information from different sectors.
The system developed by Anthropic is similar to that of OpenAI, and stands out for covering more resources than the creator of ChatGPT and providing a greater degree of reliability.
