Under the terms of the deal, the first $10 billion arrives as an upfront cash commitment, while the remaining $30 billion is tied to whether Anthropic clears certain performance benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Separately, Google Cloud has agreed to deliver five gigawatts of computing power to Anthropic across a five-year window, with the door open to several additional gigawatts down the line, according to Bloomberg. That computing arrangement builds on a three-way agreement between Anthropic, Google, and Broadcom that was announced earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Earlier this week, Anthropic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/google-plans-invest-up-40-billion-anthropic-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-04-24\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:announced a $5 billion infusion from Amazon;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;announced a $5 billion infusion from Amazon&quot;}\" class=\"link \">announced a $5 billion infusion from Amazon<\/a>, according to Reuters, with an option for Amazon to put in as much as $20 billion more over time. Both deals value Anthropic at $350 billion \u2014 the same figure attached to a funding round the company closed in February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The fundraising surge reflects booming appetite for Claude Code, Anthropic&#8217;s AI agent built to accelerate software writing, which Bloomberg says has driven the company to seek capital at a rapid clip. Anthropic&#8217;s Cowork agent, pitched at workers outside the engineering world, is also seeing rapid adoption, the company said. According to Bloomberg, current and former Google employees say the company&#8217;s top executives have grown anxious about being outpaced in AI coding, a fast-growing segment where Anthropic has established a commanding lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Before launching Anthropic in 2021 with a cohort of colleagues who had departed OpenAI, Dario Amodei spent time at Google working in AI research. The two companies have maintained a close business relationship since then. Prior to the new deal, Google had put roughly $3 billion into Anthropic and had pledged to hand over as many as one million of its tensor processing unit chips to the startup, Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Google stock was up more than 1% Friday following the news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alphabet&#8217;s Google will invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the AI startup behind the Claude family of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[53,2478,132,2194],"class_list":{"0":"post-15798","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anthropic","8":"tag-anthropic","9":"tag-bloomberg","10":"tag-google","11":"tag-google-cloud"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
