Amazon.com (AMZN): $14 Billion Stake in Anthropic as Claude Launches $200 AI Subscription

We recently published a list of Top 5 AI News Moving The Market Today. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stands against other top AI news moving the market today.

Investors continue to pour back into Big Tech stocks after the US government announced temporary tariff relief. For many, this is a signal that the technology sector may not suffer much, and further relief could follow. This is moving the major tech stocks and, with it, the index. The S&P and Nasdaq indices are both up over 4% in the last five trading sessions.

Apart from the tariff developments, some companies are moving based on company-specific news as tech players continue to race ahead in the race for AI supremacy. Some of these companies are surging considerably and still have ample room to go, so you need to look at these developments before the market prices them in.

To come up with our list of top 5 AI news you may have missed, we carefully considered the recent news reports and press releases while ordering the list based on hedge fund sentiment.

Amazon is in the news again thanks to its stake in the AI startup Anthropic. Anthropic has just announced a $200 per month subscription plan for its Claude Chatbot. The news comes a few months after ChatGPT launched a similar subscription at $200 per month for its users.

The new subscription plan comes in two tiers, with the first costing $100 per month. This tier is meant for the average user looking to improve their workflows with AI. The second tier consists of the $200 per month subscription plan, ideal for users who depend heavily on Claude for most of their daily tasks.

Amazon’s total stake in the startup is closing in on $14 billion, with future capital raises likely to further increase the value of this stake. Apart from Amazon, Google and Salesforce are also some of the major backers of the company.
