summary: "Total spending on cloud, chip, and data center commitments could reach $517 billion for Anthropic over the coming decade. These agreements cover 14.8 gigawatts of compute power distributed across partners including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, SpaceX, Lambda, and Nscale. This infrastructure buildout is nearly three times the $180 billion the company previously told investors it expected to spend on server rentals through 2029. Amazon and Google provide 11 GW of the secured capacity with estimated costs exceeding $300 billion over 10 years. The expansion follows increasing demand for the company's Claude Code and Cowork tools while CEO Dario Amodei urges AI laboratories to pace the frontier. These compute deals align with Anthropic's preparations for a potential initial public offering."
