Anthropic Commits $100B to AWS Services as Amazon Opens $11B AI Hub
AMZN sits 38% above its 52-week low of $196.
Summary
Amazon has opened an $11 billion AWS AI campus in Indiana, specifically designed to run Anthropic models. This move is underpinned by a massive commitment from AI startup Anthropic, which pledged to buy over $100 billion of AWS services across the next decade and committed up to 5 GW of compute. To fund this significant AI infrastructure and cloud capacity expansion, Amazon also issued debt in yen, Swiss francs, and sterling. This development follows Amazon's recent announcements of substantial capital expenditure plans for data centers and AI, including a prior $5 billion investment in Anthropic and strong AWS growth reported in Q1 2026. The $100 billion long-term commitment from Anthropic represents a major revenue stream for AWS, validating Amazon's aggressive AI infrastructure investments.
