Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently invested $4 billion in AI company Anthropic, which makes chatbots that rival Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT)-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The strategic partnership will make Amazon Web Services the startup’s primary cloud provider while AWS customers will gain early access to unique features for model customization along with fine-tuning capabilities from Anthropic. Anthropic recently debuted its new AI chatbot called Claude 2 and the bigger picture is about a power shift on the AI chip front, maybe not in a year, but in about five years, this deal could power Amazon to dramatically change yet another competitive landscape. Big Tech is increasingly entering the AI space with the aim to challenge the dominance of Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA).
