Meta reportedly planned to invest $10 billion annually in Anthropic, AI competition presents 'coopetition relationship'
- Meta assessed it could spend up to $10 billion a year on AI models from Anthropic.
- Meta has been one of Anthropic’s largest customers, paying hundreds of millions of dollars per month.
- Despite public criticism of AI labs like Anthropic, Meta extensively uses its AI products.
- Meta has reduced some spending on Anthropic as it advances its own AI models.
- Anthropic expects its annual revenue to exceed $65 billion this year.
According to a report by The New York Times, Meta has internally assessed that it could invest up to $10 billion annually in AI models from Anthropic, positioning itself as one of Anthropic’s largest customers. Despite publicly criticizing AI labs like Anthropic for potentially concentrating power in the industry, Meta is reported to extensively use Anthropic’s AI products.
Sources indicate that Meta is currently paying Anthropic hundreds of millions of dollars each month to access its AI tools. Previously, Meta utilized Anthropic’s Claude Code tool for internal development and to test its upcoming AI assistant product, “Hatch.”
As Meta continues to develop its own AI models and tools, it has begun to reduce some of its spending on Anthropic. Anthropic, on the other hand, expects its annual revenue to exceed $65 billion this year, and if Meta follows through with its $10 billion annual procurement plan, it will significantly contribute to Anthropic’s revenue.
The relationship between Meta and Anthropic illustrates the complex dynamics of competition and cooperation in the AI industry, where technology giants like Google and Amazon are also investing in Anthropic while developing their own AI solutions.

根据《纽约时报》的报道，Meta 内部评估每年可能在 Anthropic 的 AI 模型上投资高达 100 亿美元，使其成为 Anthropic 最大的客户之一。尽管公开批评像 Anthropic 这样的 AI 实验室可能导致行业权力集中，Meta 据称仍广泛使用 Anthropic 的 AI 产品。
消息人士表示，Meta 目前每月支付 Anthropic 数亿美元以获取其 AI 工具。此前，Meta 使用 Anthropic 的 Claude Code 工具进行内部开发，并测试其即将推出的 AI 助手产品“Hatch”。
随着 Meta 继续开发自己的 AI 模型和工具，已开始减少对 Anthropic 的部分支出。另一方面，Anthropic 预计今年的年收入将超过 650 亿美元，如果 Meta 执行其每年 100 亿美元的采购计划，将对 Anthropic 的收入产生显著贡献。
Meta 与 Anthropic 之间的关系反映了 AI 行业竞争与合作的复杂动态，谷歌和亚马逊等科技巨头也在投资 Anthropic，同时开发自己的 AI 解决方案。
