Anthropic, a leading AI developer and competitor to OpenAI, is in talks with Google for a new long-term cloud contract. Reuters reported on October 21, 2025, citing Bloomberg, that the deal could be valued in the tens of billions of dollars. This agreement, if finalized, would be one of the largest in cloud computing history and would secure the necessary computing power for Anthropic to train and deploy its future generations of Claude models. The deal underscores both the massive need for expensive infrastructure by AI companies and the strategic importance for Google Cloud to secure one of the leaders in the AI race, strengthening its position against competitors Microsoft (backing OpenAI) and Amazon.
