Amazon released a redesigned Fire TV Stick 4K for $59.99 that can be powered directly from a TV’s USB port, runs the refreshed Fire TV OS and adds Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and BLE. The new stick replaces the previous Select and Plus 4K models as Amazon simplifies its Fire TV lineup. A redesigned Fire TV remote with tactile controls ships late October for $14.99 (a higher‑end aluminum “Plus” remote arrives early next year), and Fire TV will get Alexa Plus features, AI‑driven contextual recommendations and a new Amazon Music app later this fall. » More on theverge.com

Anthropic reported revenues of $4.59 billion in 2025, with roughly 47% running through the cloud platforms of Amazon and Google (2024: 32%, 2023: 11%). The platforms kept about $351 million in fees, while subscriptions accounted for only 17.2% of revenue. Amazon is estimated to hold a 15–19% stake in Anthropic, Google around 14%; two unnamed large customers each account for about 12% of revenue, and many contracts are short‑term. That creates a concentration and dependency risk for future shareholders despite very fast revenue growth (Q2 2026 reportedly $11.5 billion). » More on deraktionaer.de

Anthropic’s confidential IPO prospectus reveals that in 2025 about 47% of revenue flowed through Amazon’s and Google’s cloud marketplaces (2024: 32%, 2023: 11%). Revenue rose to USD 4.59 billion in 2025, of which roughly USD 2.16 billion passed through the two partners; the platforms kept about USD 351 million in fees. Amazon and Alphabet also benefit from equity stakes and computing capacity, while Anthropic’s reliance on a small number of large customers and short-term contracts presents a dependency risk for future shareholders. According to media reports, revenue in the second quarter of 2026 alone was USD 11.5 billion. » More on deraktionaer.de
