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

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 backing open-source model firm DeepSeek reflect a more decoupled approach, though closed-source models from major cloud providers still dominate. The $65 billion bet is ultimately about securing a seat at the table in an AI-defined future—where missing the model layer means losing the cloud war.

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.

AI Giants Enter the Dark Forest

In the AI industry's "dark forest," major players like Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepSeek are strategically withholding their most advanced models to avoid becoming targets in a high-stakes competitive landscape. Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 but admitted it underperforms compared to their unreleased model Mythos, citing safety concerns. They delayed addressing user complaints about performance regression until OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 launch, highlighting a tactic of controlled disclosure aligned with competitors’ moves. OpenAI’s GPT-5.5, though a full retrain since GPT-4.5, was seen as incremental rather than revolutionary. Leaks revealed internal models like Glacier and Heisenberg, indicating significant unreleased capabilities. OpenAI acknowledges a "capability overhang," where real model power exceeds what users experience, often due to infrastructure-driven throttling. DeepSeek launched V4 Preview, a cost-efficient model, but its full potential (V4 Pro Max) awaits Huawei’s Ascend 950 super-nodes量产 in late 2026. Their strategy focuses on affordability and scalability, aiming to democratize AI access globally, a move noted even by NVIDIA’s CEO as a disruptive threat. Together, these actions reflect a broader trend: leading AI labs are deliberately pacing releases, hiding strengths, and aligning disclosures with competitive dynamics—each avoiding the risk of exposure in a forest where first movers become targets.

DeepSeek No Longer Wants to Focus Only on Large Models

DeepSeek, a leading Chinese AI company, has released its new model series DeepSeek-V4, featuring two versions: the high-performance V4-Pro with 1.6 trillion parameters and the cost-efficient V4-Flash. Both support 1 million token context windows and use Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture to improve efficiency. The company continues its strategy of offering competitive pricing, with input tokens priced as low as ¥0.2 per million tokens. A key revelation is DeepSeek’s explicit link between future price reductions and the mass availability of Huawei’s Ascend 950 AI chips in the second half of the year. This signals a strategic shift from relying solely on algorithmic and engineering optimizations to integrating domestic computing power into its core cost structure. DeepSeek has adapted its inference system to run efficiently on both NVIDIA GPUs and Huawei NPUs, potentially challenging NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem dominance. Concurrently, DeepSeek is reportedly seeking significant external investment, with a pre-money valuation of around ¥300 billion. This move highlights growing pressures in scaling compute infrastructure, retaining top talent—amid recent departures of key researchers—and accelerating commercialization efforts. The company has also updated its consumer app with tiered model access, indicating a stronger product focus. The V4 release underscores that China's AI competition is evolving beyond pure model capability into a broader contest involving compute supply chains, engineering systems, financing, and talent strategy.
