Microsoft, Nvidia, and Anthropic have formed a partnership, with Microsoft set to invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic.

Microsoft, NVIDIA, and AI research company Anthropic recently announced a deep strategic partnership, marking a new phase in their AI endeavors.

Under the agreement, Anthropic has committed approximately $30 billion over the next few years to procure massive computing resources from Microsoft's Azure cloud platform to support the training and inference needs of its next-generation large language models.

Simultaneously, Microsoft has committed up to $5 billion in equity investment in Anthropic, further solidifying their strategic synergy in AI infrastructure and model development.

NVIDIA revealed that Microsoft and Anthropic are also expanding their existing collaboration to provide enterprise customers with broader and more convenient access to Claude models.

Specifically, through the Microsoft Azure AI Foundry service platform, enterprise users will be able to directly access Anthropic's most advanced Frontier Claude series models, enabling efficient integration of cutting-edge generative AI capabilities into their business scenarios.

This collaboration not only strengthens Microsoft Azure's ecosystem advantage in the enterprise AI market but also provides Anthropic with broader enterprise deployment channels, further promoting the large-scale application of generative AI technology in industry.
