Last September, Amazon and Anthropic announced a strategic collaboration, which included Anthropic naming Amazon Web Services (AWS) its primary cloud provider and Amazon making a $4 billion investment in Anthropic. That announcement was underpinned by the rapid adoption of the Claude family of models on AWS, following its addition to Amazon Bedrock in April of last year. Today, Amazon and Anthropic are deepening their collaboration. Anthropic is now naming AWS its primary training partner, in addition to continuing to be its primary cloud provider, and will use AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips to train and deploy its future foundation models. Both companies will continue to work closely to keep advancing Trainium's hardware and software capabilities.
This next phase of the collaboration will even further enhance the already premium performance, security, and privacy Amazon Bedrock provides for customers running Claude models. Additionally, Anthropic and AWS have collaborated to give AWS customers early access to the ability to do fine-tuning with their own data on Anthropic models, a customization benefit that AWS customers will uniquely enjoy for each model for a period of time on new Claude models.
"The response from AWS customers who are developing generative AI applications powered by Anthropic in Amazon Bedrock has been remarkable," said Matt Garman, AWS CEO. "By continuing to deploy Anthropic models in Amazon Bedrock and collaborating with Anthropic on the development of our custom Trainium chips, we’ll keep pushing the boundaries of what customers can achieve with generative AI technologies. We’ve been impressed by Anthropic’s pace of innovation and commitment to responsible development of generative AI, and look forward to deepening our collaboration."
"This has been a year of breakout growth for Claude, and our collaboration with Amazon has been instrumental in bringing Claude's capabilities to millions of end users across tens of thousands of customers on Amazon Bedrock," said Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic. "We’re looking forward to working with Amazon to train and power our most advanced AI models using AWS Trainium, and helping to unlock the full potential of their technology."
Anthropic repeatedly set new benchmarks for large language model performance throughout 2024, as demonstrated by the Claude 3 and Claude 3.5 model families which are both available in Amazon Bedrock. Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which was recently upgraded with advanced agentic capabilities including computer use, outperforms all publicly available models on agentic coding tasks, according to Anthropic's testing. Given this exceptional performance and the ability to choose from the broad selection of high performing models available in Amazon Bedrock, customers such as Arcanum AI, b.well, HackerOne, HUDstats, Forcura, Iterate, NinjaTech.ai, Rexera, Sapio Sciences, StarTree, Thematic, and Tulip are among the latest to move their generative AI workloads from other leading model providers to AWS.
These companies join tens of thousands of customers, from startups to enterprises and government institutions, already running their generative AI workloads using Anthropic’s state-of-the-art models in the AWS cloud, and taking advantage of the high performance, reliability, and security it brings. Customers using Anthropic’s advanced generative AI and the broad capabilities available from Amazon Bedrock, AWS’s fully managed service that provides secure access to the industry’s top foundation models, are powering everything from customer service chatbots, coding assistants, and translation applications, to drug discovery, engineering design, and complex business processes. These customers include, ADP, Airtable, Alida, Amdocs, BrainBox AI, Bridgewater Associates, Broadridge, CelcomDigi, Clariant, Cloudera, Crypto.com, Degas Ltd., DoorDash, Dovetail, Druva, Enverus, FeatherSnap, Forcura, Genesys, Genomics England, Georgia-Pacific, GoDaddy, HappyFox, Health eCareers, iFood, Instructure, Intuit, Jaja Finance, KT, Kytes, Lawpath, LexisNexis Legal & Professional, Lili, LivTech, Lonely Planet, M1 Finance, Mend.io, Mitsubishi Electric, Moody's, nCino, Netsmart, NextGen Healthcare, Nexxiot, Nomura Holdings, Parsyl, Perplexity AI, Pfizer, the PGA TOUR, Proto Hologram, Ricoh, Rocket Companies, Ryanair, Shield, Showpad, Siemens, Swindon Borough Council, T-Mobile, TUI, Verisk, Zendesk, and more.
