Anthropic Expands Utilization of Google Cloud TPUs and Services

Anthropic is set to significantly expand its utilization of Google Cloud’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). This expansion marks a critical step in the company’s ability to develop and serve its Claude models.

Expansion Overview

On October 23, 2025, Anthropic announced that it would gain access to up to one million TPUs. This decision translates to an investment worth tens of billions of dollars. The company anticipates that this expansion will come online in 2026, providing well over a gigawatt of computing capacity.

Partnership with Google Cloud

This initiative builds on Anthropic’s strategic partnership with Google Cloud, which began in 2023. The collaboration has already enabled many businesses to utilize Claude models through Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform and Marketplace.

Companies such as Figma, Palo Alto Networks, and Cursor are among the thousands leveraging these AI capabilities.
