Amazon Web Services ships AI infrastructure across compute (P5 and P5en GPU instances, Trainium and Inferentia custom silicon), managed services (Amazon Bedrock for foundation-model API access, Amazon SageMaker for end-to-end ML), and application services (Amazon Q for AWS-aware coding and business analytics). AWS is also Anthropic's primary cloud provider and infrastructure partner per the November 2024 expanded partnership announcement (up to $4 billion in additional Amazon investment in Anthropic).

Why this matters in 2026

AWS's November 2024 expanded partnership with Anthropic (up to $4 billion additional Amazon investment, Anthropic AWS as primary cloud) established AWS Bedrock as the largest non-OpenAI distribution channel for frontier foundation models. The deal reshaped foundation-model competitive dynamics at the cloud-distribution layer.
