Anthropic signs AWS Trainium deal
Anthropic has been teaming up with different tech giants to secure long-term access to powerful hardware.
In April 2026, it signed a massive deal with Amazon Web Services for Trainium chips and also plans to use Google's tensor processing units.
While NVIDIA GPUs are still part of its setup, partnering with Microsoft could make Anthropic's infrastructure even stronger as they continue to grow.
