In a move reflecting the growing dominance of cloud infrastructure in the AI race, Anthropic has entered into a massive agreement with Amazon. According to reports, Anthropic committed to spending more than $100 billion with Amazon Web Services (AWS) over the next 10 years. This long-term commitment is designed to secure the necessary compute power required for the firm's ongoing artificial intelligence development.

This new contract significantly bolsters the financial position of Amazon's cloud division, as recent financial filings show that the AWS backlog has already reached approximately $496 billion. The $100 billion commitment from a single major AI player underscores the continued reliance on AWS infrastructure to power next-generation technology and large-scale AI operations.
