Anthropic announced plans to exponentially grow its use of Google Cloud technology, including up to a million TPUs, as part of an expansion worth multi-billion dollars.
The expansion will see Anthropic’s computing power grow by more than a gigawatt in 2026, allowing the company to accelerate AI research, model alignment, and product testing at scale.
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said that the move by Anthropic is in the wake of outstanding price-performance of TPUs, especially the seventh-generation model named Ironwood.
Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao added that the firm’s customer base, now at over 300,000 businesses, is growing fast, with big accounts increasing nearly sevenfold in a year.
The added compute will help service this increasing demand and keep Claude, Anthropic’s flagship model, at the front of the industry.
Anthropic’s compute strategy continues to be diversified, taking advantage of Google TPUs, Amazon Trainium, and NVIDIA GPUs.
The company continues to partner with Amazon on Project Rainier, an enormous cluster running hundreds of thousands of AI chips in U.S.-based data centers.
The growth underscores Anthropic’s commitment to responsible, large-scale AI and robust partnerships across the tech community.
