Anthropic has also signed AI infrastructure deals with Google, Broadcom, and Amazon, with rumors suggesting that it could reach an agreement with Meta as well.
AMD and Anthropic will also launch a “multi-year engineering collaboration,” where AMD will use Anthropic’s Claude across its software development, engineering, and product development. “By partnering with AMD across the stack, we are securing the capacity we need and optimizing it for training and serving Claude,” Tom Brown, Anthropic cofounder and chief compute officer, says in the press release.
