Mover of brown boxes, Amazon is chucking €2.5 billion into the AI ring to back Anthropic, the San Fran tech wizards giving OpenAI and ChatGPT a run for their money.

This isn't just loose change from down the back of the sofa – it's Amazon's heftiest punt outside its empire in 30 years.

The tech titan's not stopping there, oh no. They've already lobbed €1.13 billion at these brainiacs last September and are gearing up to hurl as much as €3.62 billion their way. This latest cash injection is just the second slice of the pie.

However, Amazon's playing it cool, keeping just a minority stake and steering clear of the boardroom shenanigans at Anthropic. But let's talk numbers – the deal's been done at a dizzying valuation of €16.7 billion.
