| [Breitbart] Anthropic, the AI giant President Donald Trump has described as “leftwing nut jobs” has agreed to spend $200 billion with leftist giant Google over the next five years for cloud computing services. The Information reports that woke AI startup Anthropic has agreed to spend $200 billion with Google Cloud over the next five years. The massive commitment was revealed by a person with knowledge of the matter and represents one of the largest cloud computing deals in the industry’s history. The massive financial commitment indicates that Anthropic accounts for more than 40 percent of the revenue backlog that Google disclosed to investors last week, according to the report. This backlog represents contractual commitments from cloud customers that have yet to be fulfilled. Following the news, shares of Google parent company Alphabet rose approximately two percent in extended trading on Tuesday. The agreement builds upon a deal that Anthropic signed in April with Google and the tech giant’s chip partner Broadcom. That arrangement involves multiple gigawatts of tensor processing unit capacity, which is expected to begin coming online starting in 2027. Tensor processing units are specialized chips designed to handle the intensive computational demands of artificial intelligence workloads. Alphabet is also making a significant financial investment in Anthropic, committing up to $40 billion to the AI startup. This investment deepens the partnership between the two companies, even as they remain competitors in the global race to develop advanced AI technologies. According to the Information, contracts involving Anthropic and OpenAI now account for more than half of the $2 trillion in backlogs at major cloud providers. These providers include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. The massive scale of these commitments underscores the enormous computing resources required to develop and operate cutting-edge AI systems.
