Announcement "Anthropic Partners with Google Cloud" Feb 3, 2023 - https://www.anthropic.com/index/anthropic-partners-with-google-cloud https://www.anthropic.com/index/anthropic-partners-with-goog...
"...Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, has selected Google Cloud as its cloud provider. The partnership is designed so that the companies can co-develop AI computing systems; Anthropic will leverage Google Cloud's cutting-edge GPU and TPU clusters to train, scale, and deploy its AI systems."
Announcement "Expanding access to safer AI with Amazon" Sep 25, 2023 - https://www.anthropic.com/index/anthropic-amazon https://www.anthropic.com/index/anthropic-amazon
"AWS will become Anthropic’s primary cloud provider for mission critical workloads, providing our team with access to leading compute infrastructure in the form of AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips, which will be used in addition to existing solutions for model training and deployment. Together, we’ll combine our respective expertise to collaborate on the development of future Trainium and Inferentia technology."

- az226 3y agoPoor prediction.
- benterix 3y agoGCP is notorious for the limited availability of ML instances so I'm not surprised about this announcement.
- alphabetting 3y agoGoogle says over 70% of generative AI unicorns are GCP customers though maybe they're multicloud or just there for TPUs.
- Palmik 3y agoIt could mean they use Google cloud services other than GPU/TPU, like Google Oauth, etc.
- alphabetting 3y agoPossible but would be pretty misleading stat if so. It sounded to me like statement meant it was for generative AI needs. I know midjourney uses TPUs but for training but don't really know who the other generative AI unicorns are besides OpenAI.
- benterix 3y agoThey're listed here: https://techblog.comsoc.org/2023/06/18/generative-ai-unicorns-rule-the-startup-roost-openai-in-the-spotlight/ https://techblog.comsoc.org/2023/06/18/generative-ai-unicorn... Anthropic, Cohere, HuggingFace, Lightricks, Runway, Jasper, Replit, Inflection, Adept, Character.ai, Stability.ai, Glean.
- pyrale 3y agoIf you use Google Workspace, you're a GCP user under the hood. (...And it's not great when the workspace admin interface isn't enough anymore and you're dropped into the GCP admin)
- htrp 3y agoEvery Gen AI startup is on all 3 clouds for GPU availability + those sweet free credits.
- Eridrus 3y agoAll the big clouds are bad for this, GCP has actually been the best big cloud in my experience.
- obscur 3y agoDepends on what you mean by works out. They are planning on doing huge training runs the coming years so they sure can make use of compute from both Google Cloud and AWS
- VirusNewbie 3y agoLikely they’ll do training on GCP and serving on AWS.
- fragmede 3y agoHow it works, is Amazon just paid a bunch of money just to be able to say that. This press release was written into the contract they signed, so us hearing about it isn't just happenstance. What happens under the hood is secondary, really.
- xmprt 3y agoI don't see the word exclusive anywhere in that press release so in all likelihood they'll be using both providers, just in different capacities.
