Amazon said today it would invest up to $4 billion in AI firm Anthropic, as the online retail giant steps into an AI race dominated by Microsoft, Google and OpenAI.

The success of OpenAI's ChatGPT, a chatbot released last year that is able to generate poems, essays and other works with just a short prompt, has led to billions being invested in the field.

"We have tremendous respect for Anthropic's team and foundation models, and believe we can help improve many customer experiences, short and long-term, through our deeper collaboration," said Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. The AI firm will also use Amazon's cloud services - the data centres that store and process data on a vast scale - for"mission critical workloads".

It promises that"Claude", which is the name of the Anthropic's chatbot and its model, will"help customers of all sizes to develop new generative AI-powered applications to transform their organisations".
