According to Bloomberg on October 22nd, renowned artificial intelligence company Anthropic is in advanced negotiations with Google's parent company, Alphabet, regarding a cloud computing services partnership valued at "multi-billion dollars."
The agreement aims to provide powerful computing power for Anthropic's large-scale AI model training and inference tasks.
The two companies already have a partnership, with Google having invested approximately $3 billion in Anthropic, demonstrating its strong recognition of the company's technological strength and development prospects.
Negotiations are still in the early stages, and specific details of the partnership have not yet been finalized and are subject to change.
The capital market reacted swiftly to this news.
Google's stock price reportedly rose approximately 3.5% in after-hours trading, while Amazon, a potential competitor, saw its stock price fall approximately 2%, reflecting the market's high interest and positive expectations for the deal.
If this partnership is successful, it will further consolidate Google's market position in AI infrastructure and drive Anthropic's continued breakthroughs in AI research and development.
