# Anthropic and Amazon expand collaboration for up to 5 gigawatts of new compute

# Claim

We have signed a new agreement with Amazon that will deepen our existing partnership and secure up to 5 gigawatts (GW) of capacity for training and deploying Claude, including new Trainium2 capacity coming online in the first half of this year and nearly 1GW total of Trainium2 and Trainium3 capacity coming online by the end of 2026. We have worked closely.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section four: enterprise deployment evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is useful evidence because it moves AI from demo space into an actual organisational workflow. Treat it as a displacement-pressure signal where the near-term effect is task compression, supervision thinning, and fewer handoffs.
