PANews reported on February 18th that, according to The Information, AI giant Anthropic recently made its most optimistic prediction, expecting to pay at least $80 billion to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft by 2029 to run its Claude AI system on their cloud servers. However, this isn't the only way these tech giants profit from Anthropic: they also receive a share of the revenue generated if their customers purchase Anthropic's AI products, and this revenue stream is growing rapidly. According to Anthropic's own data, the company paid only about $1.3 million in AI sales royalties to cloud service providers in 2024.
