• Claude maker will add more Google TPUs to its Nvidia GPU and Amazon Trainium portfolio

Anthropic has signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Google which will see the AI firm gain up to one million Google Cloud tensor processing units (TPUs) for training and running its large language models (LLMs).

The deal, worth “tens of billions of dollars” according to Anthropic, will mean the company could have well over a gigawatt of compute capacity by 2026.

The expansion comes after a successful year for Anthropic, which has seen the number of customers worth $100,000+ in run-rate revenue grow nearly 7x in the past year thanks to the ongoing AI boom.
