Google and Amazon Simultaneously Invest Heavily in a Competitor: The Most Absurd Business Logic of the AI Era Is Becoming Reality

Abstract

In a span of four days, Amazon announced an additional $25 billion investment, and Google pledged up to $40 billion—both direct competitors pouring over $65 billion into the same AI startup, Anthropic. Rather than a typical venture capital move, this signals the latest escalation in the cloud wars. The core of the deal is not equity but compute pre-orders: Anthropic must spend the majority of these funds on AWS and Google Cloud services and chips, effectively locking in massive future compute consumption. This reflects a shift in cloud market dynamics—enterprises now choose cloud providers based on which hosts the best AI models, not just price or stability. With OpenAI deeply tied to Microsoft, Anthropic’s Claude has become the only viable strategic asset for Google and Amazon to remain competitive. Anthropic’s annualized revenue has surged to $30 billion, and it is expanding into verticals like biotech, positioning itself as a cross-industry AI infrastructure layer. However, this funding comes with constraints: Anthropic’s independence is challenged as it balances two rival investors, its safety-first narrative faces pressure from regulatory scrutiny, and its path to IPO introduces new financial pressures. Globally, this accelerates a "tri-polar" closed-loop structure in AI infrastructure, with Microsoft-OpenAI, Google-Anthropic, and Amazon-Anthropic forming exclusive model-cloud alliances. In contrast, China’s landscape differs—investments like Alibaba and Tencent...

Within 4 days, Amazon announced an additional $25 billion investment, and Google announced an investment of up to $40 billion—two direct competitors betting over $65 billion on the same AI startup. Rather than examining Anthropic's development from a VC perspective, it's better to see it as the start of the latest round in the cloud wars.

Google and Amazon are direct competitors in the global cloud market. The fact that they are simultaneously betting on the same model company is itself an anomalous signal—they would rather contain each other than let the other exclusively control this strategic asset. There may be three hidden signals here:

The giants are investing in Anthropic not for equity, but for pre-sold compute orders. Every cent of the $65 billion given by Amazon and Google comes with rebate clauses—the money Anthropic receives must be spent, on the scale of hundreds of billions of dollars, back on the investors' cloud services and chips. The essence of this transaction is that compute suppliers are securing big customers for their own production capacity.
The competitive logic of the cloud market has been completely rewritten. Enterprises used to choose cloud based on price and stability; now they choose "whose cloud runs the best models." Models have hijacked compute power. Whoever loses the anchor at the model layer loses enterprise customers. OpenAI is welded to Microsoft, making Anthropic the only contested target for Google and Amazon.
AI infrastructure in China and the US is showing different evolutionary tendencies—but this isn't a simple "closed vs. open" binary opposition. Both markets simultaneously have closed-loop and open lines; the difference lies in the proportion of dominant forces and the depth of binding. DeepSeek's open-source route offers the Chinese market an alternative option different from the US's tri-polar closed loop, but the sustainability of this option remains to be verified.

The Word "Investment" Obscures the Real Transaction Structure

$65 billion, flowing to the same company, the same opponent, competing for an anchor point that cannot be lost.

Translated into business language: Amazon's terms are: $5 billion upfront, with the subsequent $20 billion兑现 upon reaching "specific commercial milestones." In return, Anthropic commits to spending over $100 billion on AWS technology products over the next decade, covering Amazon's self-developed AI chips Trainium and their next-generation products.

Google's terms are: $10 billion upfront, with an additional $30 billion if Anthropic meets performance targets, while Google Cloud provides approximately 5 gigawatts of compute power over the next five years. What is 5 gigawatts? Equivalent to the output power of a medium-sized power station.

The money flows both ways.

Anthropic gets the funding, but while getting the money, it must also spend it back—on the investors' cloud services, on their chips, in their built compute clusters. This isn't the VC model of "giving you money to burn"; it's closer to compute supplier financing: giants use investment to lock in a big customer, essentially securing pre-sold orders for their own compute capacity.

More bluntly: Google and Amazon are betting not on how high Anthropic's valuation will rise, but on how much compute power Claude will continuously consume.

Here, "why Anthropic" is more worth answering than "why so much money."

To understand why Google and Amazon must bet on Anthropic, one must first understand what Microsoft has already captured, and why they have no second choice.

Microsoft began deeply binding with OpenAI as early as 2019, with a $1 billion investment plus exclusive Azure compute support,换来优先 deployment rights for OpenAI models on Azure Cloud. Subsequently, with the explosion of GPT-3 and GPT-4, countless enterprise customers migrated to Azure to use the most advanced models—not for Microsoft's servers, but for OpenAI's models. The choice of compute power has been hijacked by models. Moreover, the relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI has continued to deepen in recent years, with exclusivity clauses making it almost impossible for other cloud vendors to intervene.

Competition in the cloud market has shifted from "whose servers are cheaper" to "whose cloud runs the best models." Whoever loses the anchor at the model layer loses the migration costs of enterprise customers. The OpenAI anchor has long been seen as Microsoft's possession, but in the past year, cracks have appeared in their relationship—OpenAI has been actively pursuing multi-cloud distribution and advancing the independent layout of its own compute infrastructure, no longer treating Azure as its only commercial outlet.

This反而 makes Google and Amazon more anxious: they are betting on Anthropic not just because they can't get OpenAI, but because OpenAI is growing up and building its own compute power; no one can独占 it forever.

Google has Gemini, Amazon has Nova, but the penetration of these self-developed models in the enterprise end is far less than that of Claude and GPT. Within the window of this generation of models, the cost-effectiveness of catching up加速 may not be high; binding with an already proven model company is more practical. Anthropic's Claude is the only target worth binding in this window.

One number is enough to illustrate the point: On April 7, 2026, Anthropic disclosed that its annualized revenue (ARR) had reached $30 billion, a 233% increase from $9 billion at the end of 2025. $30 billion ARR is not a vision on a PPT; it's revenue堆出来的 by paid contracts—Claude has become the most irreplaceable non-self-developed model in the enterprise AI market.

And just this month, Anthropic also acquired the biotech AI startup Coefficient Bio,成立仅8个月, for approximately $400 million, marking its first expansion into the life sciences field. Anthropic's story is no longer just that of a model company—it is becoming an AI infrastructure layer spanning multiple vertical industries.

This is why Google and Amazon would rather "feed a competitor" than let it be tied up by someone else.

Why Now—Cloud War "Land Grab" Again

If the explosion of large models in 2023 was the technical元年, 2025 was the落地元年 for multimodal and Agent, then the main theme of 2026 has become: AI resources are accelerating concentration towards leading platforms, and the landscape of the cloud war is being rewritten.

Several noteworthy events have occurred in the past few months:

September 2025: Anthropic completed a $13 billion Series F funding round, with its valuation soaring to $183 billion;
Same month: Anthropic announced cooperation with Google and Broadcom to build a 3.5-gigawatt-level TPU cluster;
February 2026: Anthropic completed a Series G funding round (amount undisclosed), with a valuation of approximately $350 billion;
March 12, 2026: Anthropic announced the Claude Partner Network, investing $100 million to build an enterprise落地 ecosystem;
April 6, 2026: Broadcom's SEC filing disclosed that Anthropic signed agreements with Google and Broadcom to obtain approximately 3.5 gigawatts of next-generation TPU compute power starting in 2027, with the agreements extending to 2031.

These series of actions point to the same conclusion: Anthropic has passed the stage of "proving itself" and entered the track of "scaling expansion." Its needs are compute power, talent, and customers; the cloud giants' needs are to lock in this customer and prevent competitors from locking it in. The interests of both sides converge precisely at this moment.

$350 billion—this figure independently verified by Amazon and Google within 4 days—is the market's pricing for this land grab war.

For Anthropic, these two sums of money are certainly beneficial. ARR breaking $30 billion,两大云厂保驾护航, IPO筹码空前充足—these are the best of times.

But the other side of the coin is equally real.

First constraint: Independence is being eroded. Being equity-held by two direct competitors is extremely rare in business history. Google has Gemini, Amazon is pushing Nova; their relationship with Anthropic is both cooperative and potentially competitive. When interests diverge—for example, if Anthropic's product roadmap directly conflicts with the investors' self-developed models—Anthropic will have to walk a tightrope between its two "landlords."

When Google first invested $300 million in Anthropic in 2023, it acquired about 10% of the shares and has continued to add to its stake. Now, with both giants having a say in the boardroom, every strategic decision of Anthropic must find a balance point in the缝隙 between two lines of interest.

Second constraint: The safety narrative is under pressure. Anthropic built its identity on "Constitutional AI," drawing a line with OpenAI through "safety first." But this month, its flagship model Claude Mythos, which prompted an exceptional deployment by the White House,恰恰是因为 its powerful cyber offensive and defensive capabilities raised complex national security considerations. Earlier, in February 2026, the Trump administration ordered federal agencies to stop using Claude. The double-edged effect of the safety narrative is emerging—Anthropic is, for the first time, unable to act according to its own principles because its model is too powerful. As commercial pressure continues to mount,坚守 the "safety boundary" will become increasingly difficult.

Third constraint: The sword of Damocles of IPO. Behind the $350 billion valuation is the need for investors to have an exit path. The public market's patience for growth stories is limited. When "Dario's ideal" meets the pressure of quarterly earnings reports, how long can the narrative of a "public benefit company" hold? This is a suspense left for 2027. Market voices estimate that, based on常规稀释比例, Anthropic's IPO fundraising scale could reach the level of tens of billions of dollars—though this estimate has not been officially confirmed.

China's AI Industry: The Same Two Lines, Different Proportions

Returning to the industry level, the profound impact of these two transactions may only be fully assessed years later.

One background needs to be explained: Anthropic's Claude, like OpenAI's GPT, follows a closed-source commercial route—model weights are not open; enterprises can only call them through Anthropic's official API or合作云 platforms (AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI). This means that when the world's three largest cloud service providers—Microsoft, Google, Amazon—are all using capital means to bind closed-source model companies, they form three sets of "model-cloud" exclusive bindings: OpenAI can only get optimal deployment conditions on Azure; Claude's compute commitments must spend money back on AWS and Google Cloud.

If enterprise customers are simply calling Claude's API for text generation, switching models只需改几行代码, migration cost is not high. But if Claude has been deeply embedded into business processes—building a complete Agent system based on Claude, all prompt engineering tuned for Claude, internal knowledge base deeply integrated with Claude Enterprise,同时使用了AWS配套的合规和审计服务—then the cost of changing models is not just changing an API endpoint. Agent behavior becomes unpredictable due to model differences, prompts need retuning, tool calling chains need rewriting, compliance systems need readaptation.

As the integration depth of AI in the enterprise end continues to increase, this migration cost will only go up. The格局 of AI infrastructure is evolving towards a "tri-polar closed loop." Within each pole, models, compute power, and cloud services form an internal cycle. For deeply integrated enterprise customers, the space for choice is narrowing.

But this is not the whole picture in the US. Meta's Llama model has always been open source,拥有全球最庞大的开源模型生态; Musk open-sourced Grok in 2025; Mistral also follows an open-source route. These open-source models can同样 be freely deployed by any cloud vendor, any enterprise. On the US AI map, the "tri-polar closed loop" and "open-source public goods"两条线 coexist,只是 the former currently far exceeds the latter in commercial scale and capital investment.

Pulling the focus back to China.

Alibaba and Tencent jointly investing in DeepSeek—a company known for its open-source models—almost同步 with Google and Amazon's joint investment in Anthropic, is easily read as the Sino-US version of the same story. But the underlying logic is vastly different.

First, look at the nature of the models themselves. Claude is closed-source; model weights are never open; enterprises can only call it through Anthropic's official API or specific cloud platforms. DeepSeek follows an open-source route; model weights are publicly released; any cloud vendor, any enterprise can deploy it themselves. This fundamental difference determines that the game structures of the two investments are completely different: closed-source models can be独占 by cloud vendors, used to lock in enterprise customers; open-source models天然 lack exclusivity; any cloud vendor can deploy them; there is no such thing as "exclusive model rights."

Next, look at the transaction structure. Google and Amazon's $65 billion investment is compute pre-sales: every cent Anthropic receives comes with cloud service procurement commitments—on Amazon's side, it's over $100 billion in AWS spending over the next decade; on Google's side, it's about 5 gigawatts of compute consumption over five years. Money comes in from the left and goes out from the right, forming a closed loop. What the investors want is not equity appreciation, but the investee's continuous consumption of their own compute power.

Whereas the investment by Alibaba and Tencent in DeepSeek, based on currently disclosed information, is closer to pure equity investment, without similar compute procurement binding clauses. The two structures solve different problems: compute pre-sales solve the cloud vendors' capacity digestion, while pure equity investment solves the locking of strategic席位.

But it must also be acknowledged that China's cloud market also has closed-loop forces. Alibaba has Tongyi Qianwen, Tencent has Hunyuan, Baidu has Wenxin, Huawei has Pangu—the self-developed models of the four major cloud vendors also operate in a closed-source API call mode, also forming a "model-cloud" binding relationship on their respective cloud platforms. Zhipu's core product ChatGLM also provides closed-source APIs. Chinese enterprise customers who deeply integrate a cloud vendor's self-developed model will同样 face increasing migration costs.

The difference lies in the proportion and the counterbalancing forces.

More值得关注的 is the ecological effect this loose coupling model may bring. The US is moving towards a "tri-polar closed loop": Microsoft+OpenAI, Google+Anthropic, Amazon+Anthropic—each closed loop is an exclusive binding of a closed-source model with a specific cloud platform.

Open-source models, as "public goods" in the AI infrastructure layer, lower the threshold for model usage across the entire industry, allowing more SMEs and application developers to participate in AI innovation. From this perspective, DeepSeek's existence does offer the Chinese market an alternative option different from the pure closed-loop route.

But whether this option can persist depends on three conditions: whether DeepSeek's open-source route can坚持 under commercial pressure, whether the investment from Alibaba and Tencent will not gradually evolve into exclusive compute binding, and whether Chinese independent model companies can continue to invest in the pursuit of compute diversification.

For now, none of these three conditions have a definite answer.

$65 billion in 4 days is not buying Anthropic's future. It's buying a ticket to not be defined as a "bystander" in an era where AI is redefining everything.

And this ticket is becoming increasingly expensive—so expensive that no giant dares to缺席, and no startup dares to rely solely on itself to survive. (This article was first published on Titanium Media APP, author | AGI Signal, editor | Qin Conghui)

OpenClaw vs. Hermes: Which One Is Right for You?

Two leading AI agent projects, OpenClaw and Hermes, represent a fundamental divergence in design philosophy rather than just a feature competition. OpenClaw, a GitHub phenomenon, prioritizes user control and customization, offering a powerful, flexible platform for building and orchestrating agents. It boasts a massive ecosystem with over 44,000 skills, extensive model flexibility (supporting Anthropic, OpenAI, and others), and deep integrations across multiple messaging platforms. In contrast, Hermes Agent, developed by Nous Research, champions automation and efficiency. It is designed for lower cost and a lower barrier to entry, learning and improving automatically from user workflows. It runs tasks in isolated environments for security and offers significantly lower token costs out-of-the-box. The choice between them mirrors historical tech divides like Windows vs. Mac. OpenClaw is for users who want maximum control, customization, and don't mind a complex setup. Hermes is the smarter default for those seeking an affordable, easy-to-use agent that learns autonomously. The real competition is not about which is better, but which philosophy—a programmable personal OS or a self-evolving work proxy—better suits the user's needs for control, cost, and ease of use.

Computing Power Constrained, Why Did DeepSeek-V4 Open Source?

DeepSeek-V4 has been released as a preview open-source model, featuring 1 million tokens of context length as a baseline capability—previously a premium feature locked behind enterprise paywalls by major overseas AI firms. The official announcement, however, openly acknowledges computational constraints, particularly limited service throughput for the high-end DeepSeek-V4-Pro version due to restricted high-end computing power. Rather than competing on pure scale, DeepSeek adopts a pragmatic approach that balances algorithmic innovation with hardware realities in China’s AI ecosystem. The V4-Pro model uses a highly sparse architecture with 1.6T total parameters but only activates 49B during inference. It performs strongly in agentic coding, knowledge-intensive tasks, and STEM reasoning, competing closely with top-tier closed models like Gemini Pro 3.1 and Claude Opus 4.6 in certain scenarios. A key strategic product is the Flash edition, with 284B total parameters but only 13B activated—making it cost-effective and accessible for mid- and low-tier hardware, including domestic AI chips from Huawei (Ascend), Cambricon, and Hygon. This design supports broader adoption across developers and SMEs while stimulating China's domestic semiconductor ecosystem. Despite facing talent outflow and intense competition in user traffic—with rivals like Doubao and Qianwen leading in monthly active users—DeepSeek has maintained technical momentum. The release also comes amid reports of a new funding round targeting a valuation exceeding $10 billion, potentially setting a new record in China’s LLM sector. Ultimately, DeepSeek-V4 represents a shift toward open yet realistic infrastructure development in the constrained compute landscape of Chinese AI, emphasizing engineering efficiency and domestic hardware compatibility over pure model scale.

Memecoin Millionaires Line Up For Trump’s Exclusive Luncheon

A crypto investor paid only $500 to attend an exclusive luncheon with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, reflecting a significant decline in enthusiasm compared to previous events. The TRUMP memecoin has lost over 93% of its value since its peak, falling from around $45 to under $3. Despite the collapse, nearly 300 top holders are expected to attend the gathering, which critics argue is an attempt to buy access to the president. Notable attendees include key figures from the industry like Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano. However, Tron founder Justin Sun, the largest holder of the token, is absent amid a lawsuit against a crypto platform co-founded by Trump’s sons. Ethics watchdogs have raised concerns about conflicts of interest and lack of financial transparency.

Why Bitcoin Price Failed To Breach $80K: An On-Chain Deep Dive

Bitcoin's price recently surged to a three-month high above $79,000 but struggled to break the $80,000 resistance. According to on-chain analysis, a key reason is the "True Market Mean Price," a metric representing the average cost basis of active market participants, which acted as a strong resistance level. Additionally, a shift in market sentiment toward FOMO (fear of missing out) and euphoria signaled caution among traders. Analysts suggest that a confirmed breakout would require holding above this level for about three days. As of the latest data, BTC is trading around $77,588.

XRP And Bitcoin Investors Are ‘Trapped’, But Is There A Way Out?

Crypto analyst RWA Investor claims that both XRP and Bitcoin short sellers are currently 'trapped.' He outlines a potential roadmap for XRP to reach a new all-time high of $7. The prediction involves XRP first breaking the $1.50-$1.60 range to rally to $2-$3, followed by a major pullback. A third wave is then expected to emerge, culminating in a final bear trap before a massive short squeeze propels the price to the $7 target. The analyst attributes this anticipated rally to Federal Reserve rate cuts and quantitative easing. Separately, analyst CasiTrades suggests XRP move to the $1.50-$1.53 range is still possible if Bitcoin approaches $79,900, provided XRP holds the $1.39 support level.

The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation.

Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology.

The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications.
