Anthropic noted it has worked closely with Amazon since 2023 and over 100,000 customers now run Claude on Amazon Bedrock. The company said the agreement expands collaboration, and is committing more than $100 billion over the next ten years to AWS technologies, securing up to 5GW of new capacity to train and run Claude.
