Amazon announced plans to invest up to $25 billion in Anthropic, but the reciprocal commitment is the real story: Anthropic will spend more than $100 billion on AWS over the next decade, as @ReutersBiz reported. That 4:1 ratio makes this less of an investment and more of a customer acquisition deal dressed as venture capital.
