In a similar deal, Amazon said that it plans to invest up to $25bn into Anthropic.

Google is investing $10bn in Anthropic, with another $30bn to potentially follow if the AI start-up meets set performance milestones.

The Alphabet-owned company is investing in Anthropic at the $350bn valuation it hit in January. The AI start-up raised $30bn in a round led by GIC a month later, at a market price of $380bn.

Investors have valued Anthropic at $800bn or more as the company reportedly prepares for an initial public offering around October this year.
