Anthropic has signed a new agreement with Amazon to substantially expand its computing infrastructure for training and deploying Claude models. Under the deal, Anthropic will have access to up to 5 GW of compute capacity in the first half of 2026, largely powered by Amazon’s Trainium2 chips. By the end of 2026, nearly 1 GW will be added using both Trainium2 and the newer Trainium3 generation, bringing total capacity to about 6 GW.
The partnership between the two companies dates to 2023. More than 100,000 customers are currently running Claude models via Amazon Bedrock. Anthropic and Amazon previously launched Project Rainier, described as one of the world’s largest computing clusters, and Anthropic is now operating more than one million Trainium2 chips to train and serve Claude models. The new agreement expands directly from that collaboration platform.
Financially, Anthropic commits to spend more than $100 billion over the next decade for Amazon cloud infrastructure services. The expansion plan spans multiple generations of chips, including Trainium2, Trainium3, and Trainium4. Anthropic also has the right to pre-purchase subsequent customized chip generations from Amazon as they are released.
In addition to the infrastructure agreement, Amazon is injecting an additional $5 billion into Anthropic in this round, with plans to invest another $20 billion in the future. Previously, Amazon had invested $8 billion in Anthropic.
The expansion deal is also intended to help Anthropic meet growing customer demand in markets including Asia and Europe.
Claude Opus 4.7 and Mythos are currently being tested. Last week, Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.7, aiming to improve the speed and automation of complex task workflows. Anthropic said Opus 4.7 has not yet reached the capability level of the Mythos model in preview, but will be used to test cybersecurity features before Mythos is rolled out more widely.
Recent reports indicate that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) is using Claude Mythos. Previously, senior officials at the U.S. Department of Defense, the NSA’s parent agency, had viewed Anthropic as a “supply chain risk.” The NSA is among about 40 organizations granted access to Mythos in the preview phase.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
