Could you elaborate? I don't understand your implication.

Amazon in particular hosts open weight models via Amazon Bedrock (e.g. Ministral 14B 3.0, DeepSeek V3.2, ...)[1].

In case it changes the context of this comment, I am a Meta employee, all opinions are my own.

It means Google and Amazon do not care and would not voice their opposition against the government action.

Right, Meta and Microsoft are bullwarks of government overreach activism.
Google and Amazon are Anthropic investors right?
Yes. Microsoft is an OpenAI investor and they did sign it.
there's a lot more context than that though. I don't think there's any love lost b/w them these days.
