Amazon's Next Alexa Will Run on Anthropic's AI, Not Its Own

Amazon's redesigned Alexa, codenamed Moonraker, will use Anthropic's reasoning models for complex tasks rather than homegrown technology. Internal documents from late 2025 reveal hundreds of NVIDIA GPUs running Anthropic models in testing. The decision reflects Amazon's struggle to build competitive reasoning capability internally, despite heavy AI investment, and raises whether Amazon's own Nova models could eventually replace Anthropic's technology at scale.
