Amazon tries again, with another $4 billion, to get Anthropic to use its AI chips rather than Nvidia GPUs
- Amazon has invested another $4bn in AI start-up Anthropic to challenge Nvidia's GPU dominance in the AI chip market.
- The deal will see Anthropic use AWS as its primary cloud and training partner while helping Amazon develop its Trainium chip design.

- Amazon wants its AI chips to be used more to train and run large language models by challenging Nvidia's GPU dominance.
- Anthropic will collaborate with Amazon's AWS Neuron AI model development platform and Trainium chip design.
- Nvidia's stock dropped more than 3% following the Amazon-Anthropic news as it competes with Amazon's chips.
- Anthropic could be more committed to using Amazon's Trainium chips after receiving its latest investment of $4bn.
