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.
- However, the challenge will be getting Anthropic to switch away from Nvidia GPUs and use Trainium chips to train and run large language models.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated they use Nvidia, as well as custom chips from both Amazon and Google with each having varying trade-offs.
- Amazon's first investment in Anthropic in 2023 had similar conditions, but it remains unclear if Anthropic followed through on its promise to use Amazon's Trainium and Inferentia chips.
- 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.
- Amazon's cloud rival Google is also building its custom AI chips, which compete with Nvidia's GPUs.
