The compute bill: Amazon, Google, SpaceX and Microsoft

The S-1 shows multi-year cloud commitments that dwarf current revenue.

NBC News details Anthropic's commitments: at least $110 billion with Amazon through April 2036, $120 billion with SpaceX through 2029, $115 billion with Google through 2033, and $45 billion with Microsoft through 2033.

TechCrunch, citing the draft filing reported by the Wall Street Journal, says Anthropic believes it could spend more than $750 billion on cloud contracts, including deals still under negotiation. It is also leasing its own data centers, and it flags that hyperscalers increasingly treat it as a competitor.
