# Anthropic and Amazon Expand Partnership with Massive 5 Gigawatt Compute Deal

Anthropic, the AI safety and research company, announced via Twitter an expanded collaboration with Amazon that will add up to 5 gigawatts of new computing capacity to their partnership.

**What Changed**

The deal significantly scales up the existing relationship between Anthropic and Amazon Web Services. Five gigawatts represents a substantial amount of power infrastructure—enough to run massive data centers needed for training and operating advanced AI models like Anthropic's Claude.

**Who's Involved**

Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI executives, focuses on building AI systems that are reliable, interpretable, and steerable—meaning AI that's safer and more controllable than current alternatives. Amazon has been a key infrastructure partner, providing the cloud computing resources necessary for Anthropic's research and products.
