## In short

Anthropic commits $100B+ to AWS over 10 years and secures up to 5GW of compute (Trainium2–4) for training and serving Claude. Amazon invests $5B immediately with up to $20B more tied to milestones. Run-rate revenue surpassed $30B.

## What it is

Anthropic and Amazon signed an expanded infrastructure agreement on April 20, 2026, giving Anthropic access to up to 5GW of compute capacity across Amazon's Trainium2, Trainium3, and Trainium4 chips. In return, Anthropic commits over $100 billion to AWS technologies over the next decade. Amazon invests $5B in Anthropic immediately, with the potential for up to $20B more tied to commercial milestones — on top of $8B previously invested.

## How it works

Trainium2 capacity begins in Q2 2026; scaled Trainium3 follows in H2 2026. The full Claude Platform will integrate directly into AWS accounts with unified billing, access controls, and monitoring. International inference expansion covers Asia and Europe. Anthropic already runs over 1 million Trainium2 chips and is the largest customer of custom AWS silicon.

## Why it matters

Anthropic's run-rate revenue jumped from $9B at end of 2025 to $30B — fivefold growth in under five months. Securing 5GW of dedicated compute locks in supply before Trainium capacity is claimed by others, and the $100B AWS commitment is the largest publicly announced AI infrastructure pledge in industry history. The deal quotes both Andy Jassy and Dario Amodei, signaling deep bilateral commitment.

## Who it's for

Enterprise teams using Claude on AWS; ML engineers planning large-scale Trainium training runs
