The two companies announced the deal on Thursday, with Anthropic pitching it as "expanded capacity" that the company will use to meet surging customer demand and allow it to conduct "more thorough testing, alignment research, and responsible deployment at scale." Google's take on the deal is that it will enable Anthropic to "train and serve the next generations of Claude models," and involves "additional Google Cloud services, which will empower its research and development teams with leading AI-optimized infrastructure for years to come."

Discussions are still in the early stages, but Google and Claude creator Anthropic are considering a cloud agreement worth tens of billions of dollars. This would allow Anthropic to use Google's AI computing power. Google, itself an investor in Anthropic, would already see a significant return on its investment under the agreement. It has invested approximately $3 billion in two investment rounds in the AI company.
