Amazon Could Pay More for Anthropic Technology Under New Deal

As Anthropic grows to become a leading AI model used by enterprises, it’s been flexing its power with customers—including one of its most important early backers, Amazon.

Earlier this year, Anthropic renegotiated an aspect of its partnership with Amazon, making it more expensive for the cloud and e-commerce giant to use Anthropic models in its products, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions between the two firms. As a result, Amazon is evaluating whether it can save on costs by using other models, including OpenAI’s and Amazon’s own Nova models, one of the people said.
