Sundar Pichai has stated that securing sufficient computing capacity for Google DeepMind is treated as a non-negotiable priority for the company.[^1]

Anthropic has committed over $350 billion in cloud computing capacity contracts with SpaceX, Amazon and Google, with many payments required regardless of usage.[^2] As of 30 September 2026, Anthropic had over 1900 enterprise customers generating at least $1 million annual revenue each.[^3] Ramp data showed Anthropic accounted for 60.1% of measured enterprise AI token spending for the week ended 11 October 2026.[^4]

Amazon, Google and Microsoft act simultaneously as suppliers, investors, competitors and customers to Anthropic.[^5] SpaceX leases excess data center compute capacity to both Anthropic and Google.[^6]
