And then, of course, we have companies like Amazon with AWS and all of their web servers.
So this is an interesting deal that seems to be more and more popular.
We're going to break down the deal, who broke it, and what the sources are saying about all of this.
Before we get into it, I wanted to mention, if you want to build...
an AI tool or an app using AI, I'd love for you to try out my startup, which is called AIbox.ai.
There's all sorts of really cool ideas that you can create over there.
Go check out AIbox.ai.
I'll leave a link in the description if you want to try out our new AI app workflow builder.
All right, let's get into the story right now.
So this was reported by CNBC and Bloomberg, who were both discussing this.
The investment in OpenAI, this $10 billion investment from Amazon, would give it a valuation of $500 billion, almost half a trillion dollars as a private company
This is absolutely phenomenal.
And this is according to some quote-unquote anonymous sources who were familiar with the matter.
The information first broke news about this talk, and then Bloomberg dug in and got some interesting info on that final valuation.
Right now, I think this potential deal shows that Amazon's really trying to broaden its exposure to AI and to the AI race.
They've invested heavily into Anthropic, and now it seems like they're going straight for OpenAI.
And they've also already committed about $8 billion to Anthropic.
So, you know, putting $10 billion into OpenAI, I'm not sure what Anthropic thinks about this because, you know, their $8 billion, it was kind of tranched out over many years.
And then OpenAI is about to get a big, huge slab of $10 billion.
But maybe Anthropic's got a tranche of money earmarked for it as well.
