Google is planning to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the artificial intelligence (AI) firm confirmed Friday, April 24, expanding a long-standing alliance between the two companies. The investment builds on a partnership in which Anthropic will use custom Google chips and cloud computing services to power its technology. An Anthropic representative confirmed to Agence France-Presse that the agreement sees an initial $10 billion investment from Google. The remaining $30 billion will depend on meeting performance milestones.

Anthropic said it has committed to spending more than $100 billion on Amazon Web Services (AWS) technology to power AI in the coming decade.
