Anthropic just committed to spending $200 billion with Google Cloud over five years. Combined with its $100 billion Amazon deal from April， the company is now making infrastructure commitments that dwarf most public tech companies' entire market caps， and it hasn't even IPO'd yet.

Anthropic and OpenAI together now make up roughly half of the $2 trillion in revenue backlog across the four largest US cloud providers. The entire cloud growth story that Wall Street is currently pricing into big tech earnings is， at its core， a bet on two cash-burning startups hitting 20 to 30x revenue growth by 2029.

While OpenAI is building its own data centers through Stargate， Anthropic is locking in capacity across Google， Amazon， and Microsoft simultaneously. No single point of failure， no hardware ownership risk. The tradeoff is deeper dependency： Google is running Anthropic on its own TPU chips， not just Nvidia hardware， which means better margins for Google but an increasingly asymmetric relationship for Anthropic.
