Amazon

Amazon is an American multinational technology company founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994. Starting as an online bookstore, it has grown into a global leader in e-commerce, cloud computing (AWS), digital streaming, and artificial intelligence, and ranks among the world's most valuable companies.

In the AI space, Amazon leverages its AWS cloud platform — launched in 2006 — to offer Amazon Bedrock (a multi-model AI platform), Amazon Nova (its own family of foundation models), and Trainium (custom AI training chips). AWS provides over 240 services to more than 4 million customers and holds 31% global cloud market share, making it the #1 cloud provider. Starting in 2026, the company plans approximately $200 billion in AI infrastructure investment and has committed $4 billion to Anthropic, signaling its aggressive push into the generative AI ecosystem.
