amazon announced on Monday an investment of up to $4 billion in the American artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic, which is developing a rival ChatGPT, which will speed up the world race towards these technologies.
With this collaboration, the e-commerce giant and the “cloud” (remotely accessible data storage) will take a minority stake in Anthropic, which has created Claude, a “chatbot” that competes with ChatGPT, OpenAI’s well-known artificial intelligence tool.
Anthropic will use the chips Amazon Web Service (AWS) -the largest “cloud” company in the world- developed specifically for the creation of machine learning models.
This agreement will allow, according to amazon, speed up the future “chatbot” models from Anthropic, which AWS users will be able to access.
“Customers are very excited about Amazon Bedrock, the new managed service from AWS that allows companies to use several basic models to build generative AI applications on top of AWS Trainium, the AWS AI training chip“, and our collaboration with Anthropic should help customers realize even more value from these two capabilities,” the official statement added.
For its part, Dario Amodeico-founder and CEO of Anthropic, expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration and highlighted that “since we announced support for Amazon Bedrock in April, “Claude has seen significant organic customer adoption of AWS. By significantly expanding our partnership, we can unlock new possibilities for organizations of all sizes as they deploy Anthropic’s next-generation, secure AI systems alongside AWS’s leading cloud technology.”
The artificial intelligence called “generative”, capable of generating new content from learning data, arouses a lot of interest among internet giants. A few days ago, Amazon announced that its virtual assistant Alexa would have artificial intelligence.
AND Microsoft reported on Thursday that it was going to integrate Bing’s new generative artificial intelligence interface into its search engine. OpenAI.
What is Anthropic, the company that partnered with Amazon
Anthropicwho has been an AWS customer since 2021, was founded about two years ago former OpenAI research executivesand has quickly become one of the world’s leading providers of basic models and a leading advocate for the responsible implementation of generative AI.
Its basic model, Claudeexcels in a wide range of tasks, from sophisticated dialogues and creative content generation until complex reasoning and detailed instructionwhile maintaining a high degree of reliability and predictability, as well as Claude 2its latest generation model.
