Amazon trying to get some of that sweet Anthropic revenue
I wonder how that affects prices for users if both the hardware and software layer want fat per token based margins

It is a fact universally acknowledged that every major AI deal will eventually get renegotiated.

@UltraTopSecret I didn't think of that angle, heh, pretty good. I doubt it though.

@AndrewCurran_ Hmmm...seems like a bad deal for Amazon.
What's in it for them? Must be something, right?

@ns123abc Not much Amazon can do about this really…. Unless they release their own model AmazonAI 😂

@AndrewCurran_ to be clear, this is an inference-side deal or you mean for Amazon’s enterprise plan consuming tokens?

@daniel_mac8 @AndrewCurran_ Amazon gets to ask Fable 6 for three wishes (but no wishing for more wishes).

@AndrewCurran_ Did they have a clause to keep rat fink Andy Jassy's mouth shut?

@AndrewCurran_ Anthropic took $8 billion from Amazon then renegotiated terms that cost Amazon more. At some point this stopped being a partnership and started being Amazon paying whatever Anthropic asks.
