Amazon committing $200B CapEx in 2026 with $100B+ already under customer contract including OpenAI. FY2025 revenue $717B; AWS grew 20% to $142B run rate. Per Jassy, AWS AI trajectory is "260x larger than AWS at same age".
Scenarios
Custom silicon (Trainium) creates cost advantages for undercutting rivals on inference pricing. $200B CapEx plan cements AWS as largest AI compute provider by raw capacity.
AWS AI revenue partially driven by customers who will consolidate onto fewer providers. Alexa+ has repeatedly failed to become the agentic assistant Amazon needs.
