US-based AI company Anthropic has signed a major deal with Google Cloud that is said to be worth tens of billions of dollars. As part of the deal, Anthropic will have access to up to one million of Google’s purpose-built Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) AI accelerators.
“Anthropic and Google have a long-standing partnership and this latest expansion will help us continue to expand the computing power we need to push the boundaries of AI,” said Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao in a statement quoted by CNBC.
However, Anthropic has no intention of ending its current partnerships with Amazon and Nvidia, as the company needs multiple suppliers.
