Tech giants Microsoft and Nvidia are joining forces to invest up to $15 billion in the AI startup Anthropic, the company behind the chatbot Claude. This move marks one of the biggest bets yet on the rapidly growing artificial intelligence sector.
As part of the deal, Anthropic has also committed to spend $30 billion on Microsoft’s Azure cloud services. The startup will tap into cutting-edge Nvidia hardware, using up to one gigawatt of computing power to run and expand its AI models.
The partnership goes beyond money. Microsoft, Nvidia, and Anthropic will work closely to design AI systems and infrastructure that make Anthropic’s models faster and more efficient. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said, “We will use Anthropic models, they will use our infrastructure, and we will go to market together.”
Even with this new partnership, Microsoft stresses that its collaboration with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT,remains crucial. Experts see this deal as part of a larger trend where cloud providers, chipmakers, and AI startups are increasingly interconnected, highlighting both the promise and the high stakes in AI development.
