Changes made earlier this year raised what Amazon pays to use Anthropic’s models in its products, and the expanded arrangement could total as much as $33 billion amid rising AI infrastructure costs.
Anthropic earlier this year renegotiated parts of its partnership with Amazon, increasing what Amazon pays to use Anthropic’s models in Amazon products, according to people familiar with the matter. Under the expanded deal, Amazon could pay up to $33 billion in total for Anthropic technology. The changes suggest Anthropic has gained leverage in supplying core AI models, while Amazon reassesses the cost structure of its AI offerings and the broader expense of securing computing capacity.
