At this stage, OpenAI is negotiating a $100 billion financing round, which could raise the company's estimated value to $830 billion. Amazon could become the largest investor in the round with investments of up to $50 billion.
Amazon's investments in AI leaders
Amazon is also a significant investor in Anthropic, having already invested $8 billion in the company. Furthermore, Amazon has made AWS the leading cloud provider and is investing heavily in server infrastructure, data centers, AI, and machine learning. Now Amazon has decided to support both AI leaders.
The deal between OpenAI and Amazon may involve not only financial investments but also the possibility of a mutually beneficial exchange between the companies. OpenAI may use Amazon Trainium chips, and Amazon may gain access to OpenAI models.
In addition to Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft are likely to participate in the round. In the fourth quarter of this year, OpenAI plans to go public, and concerns have arisen that Anthropic may do so first.
