Amazon signs $6 billion, five-year infrastructure deal with Snowflake to power agentic AI workloads on AWS and Graviton processors

Snowflake committed to spend $6 billion over five years on AWS infrastructure to power AI and agentic AI workloads, with the deal explicitly including Graviton processors (Amazon's custom CPU designed for AI tasks).

Amazon is positioned to benefit from the shift toward agentic AI (systems that act autonomously toward a goal, beyond chatbot question-response models) by providing cloud infrastructure and custom chips, and has signed similar agreements including one with Meta Platforms in April.

Amazon could apply agentic AI internally to improve its e-commerce business through faster, personalized shopping assistance for customers, and to cut costs in its warehouses using AI-powered robots.
