Anthropic Commits $200 Billion to Google Cloud Over Five Years

Anthropic agreed to invest $200 billion in Google Cloud over the next five years, securing multiple GW-scale TPU computing resources. Phased deployment begins in 2027. Simultaneously, OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Google, and xAI granted the U.S. Commerce Department's CAISI pre-evaluation authority over their models. The Pentagon excluded Anthropic from its list of eight AI contract recipients due to differing safety guardrail positions.
