> Anthropic expands Google/Broadcom next-gen TPU deal: multiple gigawatts, mostly U.S., starting 2027 — part of its $50B American infrastructure commitment. Cites >$30B revenue run-rate and >1,000 $1M+ business customers. Broadcom 8-K ~3.5 GW allocation noted. Multi-cloud Claude stays; AWS remains primary trainer.

Two weeks before the Amazon 5 GW story, Anthropic was already buying **Google TPU watts for 2027+**. The frame: diversify custom silicon while keeping AWS as primary training home — capacity hedging, not a single-cloud conversion.

**Anthropic** (April 6) announced expanded partnership with **Google** and **Broadcom** for **multiple gigawatts** of next-generation TPU capacity via Google Cloud services and Google-built TPUs supplied through Broadcom. Vast majority U.S.-sited; online starting **2027**. Part of Anthropic’s **$50 billion** American AI infrastructure commitment (Nov 2025). Broadcom **Form 8-K** (April 6) details a long-term TPU agreement and Anthropic’s **~3.5 GW** allocation. Multi-cloud continues: AWS primary (incl. Project Rainier); Vertex AI and Azure Foundry; Claude framed as only frontier model on all three major clouds.

## Demand context (Anthropic-stated)

| Metric | Figure |
|--------|--------|
| **Run-rate revenue** | >$30B (from ~$9B end-2025) |
| **$1M+ annualized business customers** | >1,000 (doubled from >500 at Series G in February) |

CFO Krishna Rao: capacity to serve exponential customer growth while keeping Claude at the frontier — **company quote**.

## Claims vs checks

Partnership timing, 2027 start, and U.S. siting are **Anthropic / Google Cloud primary**. **~3.5 GW** is **Broadcom 8-K** detail — firmer than vague “multiple GW” marketing. Revenue and customer counts are **company disclosures**. Energized megawatts in 2027 remain forward-looking.

## Limits

- “Multiple gigawatts” ≠ same-day capacity.
- TPU vs Trainium mix optimization is internal.
- 2027 delivery subject to fab, power, and site risks.
