It is reported that Amazon has completed a US$50 billion investment in OpenAI. According to the foreign media "Financial Times", the latest disclosed financial information shows that Amazon has completed a total investment of US$50 billion in OpenAI. Before the ChatGPT developer is expected to start the listing process in 2027, it successfully acquired about 5% of its equity and became one of the core strategic investors of OpenAI. The implementation of this large investment has long been paved: in February 2026, Amazon had invested an initial US$15 billion in OpenAI, run by Sam Altman, and the two parties simultaneously finalized an in-depth cooperation framework covering computing power and cloud services. At that time, Amazon clearly agreed that if OpenAI achieved two milestones: IPO landing or major breakthroughs in AI technology, it would invest an additional US$35 billion. According to Amazon’s latest financial report disclosure, even if the above two preset conditions were not triggered, the company still chose to complete the investment in full, adding huge amounts of money to OpenAI, which has been in a state of high investment for a long time. The final realization of this full capital injection is inseparable from the renegotiation of the cooperation agreement between OpenAI and Microsoft in April this year. Previously, restricted by the original cooperation terms, only Microsoft Azure could serve as the core computing service provider for OpenAI, and Amazon's AWS could not normally access related services. Microsoft even considered filing a breach of contract lawsuit over OpenAI's cooperation with Amazon. After the agreement was revised, AWS and other cloud service providers were officially qualified to provide computing power services to OpenAI, clearing the core obstacle to large investments by both parties. According to people familiar with the transaction, OpenAI, currently valued at US$852 billion, has received the last investment payment this week, and Amazon’s shareholding ratio has officially increased to about 5%. Foreign media believe that this equity binding will further deepen the complex commercial partnership between the two parties that originally revolved around chips, computing power, and cloud services. The huge capital injection will directly strengthen OpenAI's ability to train a new generation of ultra-large-scale AI models - large model iteration itself is a high-cost investment field, and continued financial support is the core basis for it to maintain its advantage in the technology competition with Anthropic, Google and domestic leading AI manufacturers. It is worth noting that Amazon has always adhered to a dual-betting strategy in the AI ​​​​track: in addition to completing a full investment of US$50 billion in OpenAI, the company is also a core investor in Anthropic. It has invested a total of US$18 billion in the developers of Claude, with a total committed investment of up to US$33 billion. Amazon is making every effort to promote the popularization of self-developed Trainium AI chips through the cooperation of two major AI laboratories, so as to benchmark Nvidia's mainstream hardware, Google TPU and other competing products, while ensuring that both
