The AI unicorn will invest 100 billion in 10 years for implementing a 5 GW computing AWS and achieving revenues of 30 billion. The firm is also holding talks with the Pentagon for a contract
On 21 April, Tuesday, Anthropic, the US unicorn that siblings Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei founded, said it consolidated its partnership with NYSE-listed tech giant Amazon which poured 5 billion US Dollars in equity and signed a further 20 billion commitment for the target’s 10-years above 100 billion investment plan in AWS technology that may support with an up to 5 gigawatt computing power for Claude AI (press release).
In November 2024, Amazon supported Anthropic with 8 billion (see here a previous post by BeBeez) bringing the group’s total investment in the scale-up to al 13 billion already committed that may increase to 33 billion.
In February 2026, Anthropic secured a 30 billion Series G round that GIC and Coatue led for a post-money value of 380 billion and a run-rate of 14 billion (see here a previous post by BeBeez).
Andy Jassy, the ceo of Amazon, said: “Our custom AI silicon delivers high performance at a significantly lower cost for customers. Anthropic’s commitment to running its large language models on AWS Trainium for the next decade reflects the progress we made together on this material”.
Dario Amodei, the ceo of Anthropic, added: “Claude is becoming increasingly essential to the work of its users, and we need to build the infrastructure to keep pace with rapidly growing demand “.
Anthropic’s turnover is worth more than 30 billion (9 billion at the end of 2025).
US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Squawk Box on CNBC that the Ministry of Defence may reach an agreement to allow the use of Anthropic’s artificial intelligence models. “They came to the White House a few days ago; we had some very positive discussions with them, and I think they’re getting their act together. They’re very intelligent, and I think they could be of great use”. In March 2026, the Pentagon added Anthropic to a blacklist which prevented the firm from working with the US federal government (see here a previous post by BeBeez).
