Amazon Throws $4 Billion into the AI Ring:

Amazon has stepped up its AI game by investing another $2.75 billion in Anthropic, an AI company competing with OpenAI, making its total investment up to $4 billion.

This move highlights Amazon's strategy to strengthen its cloud services (AWS) and stand up against rivals like Microsoft.

Despite investing heavily, Amazon only holds a minority stake in Anthropic, without board influence.

At the same time, Amazon is working on its own AI model, named Olympus, aiming to outdo Anthropic's Claude models by mid-year.

This effort reflects the tech giant's push to lead in AI innovation amidst strict regulatory environments.
