Anthropic and Google announced an agreement to expand Anthropic's use of Google Cloud TPUs to as many as one million chips, bringing well over a gigawatt of capacity online in 2026 in a deal reported to be worth tens of billions of dollars, though no figure was disclosed. Anthropic called it its largest TPU expansion yet and cited price-performance, efficiency, and its existing experience training and serving models on TPUs. Securing Google TPUs at scale alongside Amazon's Trainium and NVIDIA GPUs made explicit a strategy of deliberately spreading compute across suppliers.
