Anthropic secures 3.5 gigawatts of Google TPU capacity via Broadcom deal, revenue hits $30B

Anthropic has signed an agreement with Google $GOOGL +1.43% and Broadcom $AVGO -0.04% for approximately 3.5 gigawatts of computing capacity built on Google’s tensor processing units, with the capacity expected to come online starting in 2027, the company said.

The deal expands an existing relationship. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said during an earnings call last month that Broadcom was providing one gigawatt of Google TPU compute for Anthropic in 2026, according to CNBC. Broadcom helps Google design its TPUs. In a securities filing Monday, Broadcom said Google and Broadcom have also entered a long-term supply assurance agreement running through 2031, according to Bloomberg.

In tandem with the compute news, Anthropic said its revenue run rate has now crossed $30 billion on an annualized basis – more than three times the roughly $9 billion figure it recorded at the close of 2025. Enterprise traction has also accelerated: the number of clients committing at least $1 million a year has surpassed 1,000, a threshold Anthropic said is twice what it was reporting around the time of its Series G announcement in February.

“We are making our most significant compute commitment to date to keep pace with our unprecedented growth,” Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao said in a statement.

Anthropic said the majority of the new infrastructure will be built on U.S. soil, framing the commitment as a continuation of a pledge made in November 2025 to direct $50 billion toward domestic computing capacity. According to Monday’s securities filing, Broadcom flagged that Anthropic’s ability to draw on the additional compute hinges on its ongoing commercial performance, and noted that discussions with outside operational and financial partners are underway to support the rollout.

Anthropic trains and runs its Claude models across multiple hardware platforms – including AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and Nvidia $NVDA +0.14% GPUs – and describes Amazon $AMZN +1.44% Web Services as its primary cloud and training partner. Claude is available on AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft $MSFT -0.16% Azure Foundry.

The revenue growth comes as Anthropic navigates a legal dispute with the Pentagon, which designated the company a supply-chain risk after a standoff over AI safety guardrails. Anthropic has warned the label could cost it billions in lost revenue. Still, the company’s annualized revenue has more than tripled in the months since that dispute became public, driven in part by demand for its Claude Code developer tools and broader enterprise adoption.

Broadcom’s shares gained as much as 3.6% in after-hours trading following the filing’s release, according to Bloomberg. No financial terms were attached to the agreement. A post-earnings research note from Mizuho analysts put Broadcom’s prospective AI revenue from Anthropic at $21 billion for 2026 and $42 billion for 2027, per CNBC.
