Amazon and Anthropic are strengthening their ties once again, with steep financial commitments made on both sides. Today, Amazon announced that it will invest $5 billion in the AI company, along with as much as $20 billion in additional payments if certain milestones are met. This news follows the initial $4 billion investment Amazon made in Anthropic in 2023 and a second $4 billion round from 2024.
On Anthropic's side, it has committed to continued use of Amazon's custom Trainium silicon for its AI models. The latest agreement will see Anthropic promising to spend more than $100 billion on AWS technologies over the coming decade. It will secure up to 5 gigawatts of current and future chip capacity for training and powering its models. Their partnership is also bringing Anthropic's Claude platform to Amazon Web Services customers within the AWS portal, removing the need for additional credentials.

Let's start with the coolest thing about this cable: it's retractable. That's right. It's tiny and compact when you aren't using it, then stretches out to a maximum length of 6.6 feet. Or you can use it at one of its many preset lengths: 1.9 feet, 3.1 feet, 4.1 feet, 4.9 feet, 5.7 feet, and 6.2 feet. Just tug on it when you're done and it rolls back onto itself.
It's fast, too, providing up to 100W of power. With a proper 100W charging block, you can fast-charge your phone, tablet, laptop, earbuds, or whatever else in mere minutes rather than hours. That makes it perfectly versatile for so many device types and it'll serve you well for many years to come.
What's not to love about this nifty little accessory? Grab this retractable 100W Baseus USB-C cable for $15.19 before this deal goes away! This is, by the way, the cheapest price it's ever been. Nice!
