Amazon and Anthropic expand AI partnership with major financial and infrastructure commitments

Since 2023, Amazon and Anthropic have partnered to facilitate the adoption of generative artificial intelligence across various industries. Currently, over 100,000 customers utilize Anthropic's Claude models on Amazon Web Services (AWS), positioning Claude as a leading model family on Amazon Bedrock.

To build on this existing framework, the two companies have announced a significant deepening of their collaboration, marked by substantial financial commitments, new infrastructure deployments, and expanded platform integrations.

The expanded partnership involves large-scale, long-term financial agreements from both organizations aimed at scaling AI research, development, and deployment.

To simplify enterprise adoption, the partnership introduces the Claude Platform on AWS. This integration allows AWS customers to access the full Anthropic-native Claude console directly through their existing AWS accounts.

By eliminating the need to manage separate credentials, contracts, or billing relationships, users can utilize their pre-existing AWS access controls and monitoring systems. This offers customers the flexibility to choose between the native Claude Platform on AWS or utilizing Claude through Amazon Bedrock based on their specific operational needs.

The expanded relationship continues to center on infrastructure development, custom silicon engineering, and broad enterprise deployment.

Moving forward, Anthropic will maintain AWS as its primary cloud and training provider for mission-critical workloads. In turn, Amazon's internal developers and engineers will continue utilizing Claude models to enhance customer experiences across Amazon's broad portfolio of businesses.
