""We also knew that we would have to compete with our partners, because technology is interconnected. So, for a very long time, we've built this muscle up of how we go to market with our partners.""

AWS CEO Matt Garman stated that Amazon's $50 billion investment in OpenAI, following an $8 billion investment in Anthropic, is manageable due to their experience with competitive partnerships.
