Amazon Stock Gets a Boost. AWS Adds Anthropic, Meta and OpenAI Models
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is widening access to artificial intelligence tools for U.S. government customers through its AWS GovCloud platform. The company said government agencies can now use several third-party AI model families through Amazon Bedrock, including offerings from Anthropic, Meta (NASDAQ:META), OpenAI, xAI and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA). Amazon's Nova models are also available within the isolated cloud environment. The expansion adds to the role of AWS in Amazon's broader AI strategy. The cloud unit reported a 37% year-over-year increase in second-quarter 2026 revenue, while operating income rose 63% from a year earlier. Amazon has pointed to AI-related workloads and its chip operations as contributors to AWS growth. Management has also said the segment could eventually generate $1 trillion in annual revenue, while noting that about 85% of worldwide information-technology spending remains on-premises. For AMZN stock, the broader AWS expansion could support longer-term growth by increasing AI adoption among government customers and other regulated users.
