Amazon and artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic have announced<\/a> a new investment agreement to aid the research and development of new high-performing foundation models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Anthropic revealed that Amazon has invested $4 billion in its work, while receiving access to Amazon cloud services (AWS) Trainium and Inferentia chips. <\/p>\n

It said it will be offering in return \u201cenhanced support\u201d of Amazon Bedrock, which produces foundation models, with “secure model customization and fine-tuning” for businesses. Amazon teams will also be able to use Bedrock to build on Anthropic\u2019s models. <\/p>\n

Our agreement provides Anthropic with access to @awscloud<\/a> Trainium and Inferentia chips. We\u2019ll also offer enhanced support of Amazon Bedrock with secure model customization and fine-tuning for businesses.<\/p>\n

Additionally, through the deal Amazon is reported to be taking a \u201cminority stake\u201d in Anthropic. The latter said this has caused no disruption in its governance.\u00a0<\/p>\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<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The AI startup was formed by former members of the Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the creator of the viral AI chatbot ChatGPT.<\/a><\/p>\n

This latest development comes shortly after Anthropic announced an investment of $100 million from the South Korean telecommunications giant SK Telecom<\/a> back in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That investment followed a collaboration between Anthropic and SK Telecom to develop a multilingual large language model (LLM) for the latter\u2019s Telco AI Platform.<\/p>\n

Anthropic has also recently been a part of major movements within the AI community. In July it joined Google, OpenAI, Microsoft and others in the formation of the \u201cFrontier Model Forum<\/a>,\u201d which was created in order to self-regulate the development of from the inside. <\/p>\n

It has also been a part of initiatives led by the United States government relating to AI development and regulation, including a cybersecurity challenge<\/a> to help strengthen its \u201ccritical infrastructure.\u201d <\/p>\n
