So, LinkedIn is useful for citing monumental team achievements, right? Horn-tooting, at least in small doses? If this is my one shot, imma take it 🤗 I've been lucky to snag some choice assignments at AWS. Helping [1] negotiate this partnership definitely tops the list. Many thoughtful debates, new memes, and jokes, shared with a customer who offers an extremely compelling, and considered vision of the future. Anthropic has built up a pretty wonderful legal team in (ridiculously) short order; they lived their values throughout the deal[2]. I'm truly thankful for this opportunity.

[1] Emphasizing "help," and one portion of the deal (AWS compute). This work is the product of a village-sized number of hands, spanning multiple workstreams, and many midnight-old-burns at camps Amazon and Anthropic.
[2] Take note of 02 in particular: "Our company is an unusually high trust environment: we assume good faith, disagree kindly, and prioritize honesty."
Excited to share we’re expanding our collaboration with Anthropic. AWS will now be Anthropic’s primary cloud provider and help build, train, and deploy its future foundation models on Trainium and Inferentia chips. I have tremendous respect for Dario, the Anthropic team, and their foundation models, and believe that together we can help improve many customer experiences. https://lnkd.in/g_Zpn5CG
