CoreWeave Strikes Multi‑Year Deal to Host Anthropic’s Claude
CoreWeave announced a multi-year agreement with Anthropic to provide cloud infrastructure for its Claude family of AI models. The deal makes Anthropic the ninth of the leading ten AI model providers to use CoreWeave’s platform. CoreWeave said the initial phase will be a phased infrastructure roll‑out with potential to expand; the company declined to disclose the deal’s monetary value. The announcement followed a separate Meta commitment to spend an additional $21 billion with CoreWeave (adding to a prior $14.2 billion commitment). CoreWeave operates data centers populated with hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs and already supplies infrastructure to firms including Microsoft, OpenAI and Google. Anthropic reported its annual run rate reached $30 billion, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025. CoreWeave’s shares rose roughly 4% on the news.
The deal expands third‑party GPU infrastructure for major LLM providers and signals continued large-scale cloud commitments (including Meta’s $21B), affecting compute capacity, vendor relationships and supply dynamics for AI model deployment.

Meta Adds $21B CoreWeave Commitment Amid Rising AI Costs
Meta has agreed to spend an additional $21 billion with CoreWeave for AI cloud infrastructure, adding to a prior $14.2 billion arrangement as it scales AI capacity. The new contract covers 2027–2032, while the earlier deal runs through 2031. CoreWeave, which operates data centers populated with hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs, said it will also raise $3 billion in new debt; the company had about $21 billion in debt at the end of 2025 and borrowed another $8.5 billion in March tied to new contracts. CoreWeave serves hyperscalers including Google, Microsoft and OpenAI. Meta said the agreement is part of a portfolio approach to infrastructure as it invests heavily in AI (Meta also announced its Muse Spark model), and CoreWeave expects the Meta relationship to grow even as Meta builds more of its own capacity.
Google to Invest Up to $40B in Anthropic
Alphabet (Google’s parent) confirmed a deal to invest up to $40 billion in AI company Anthropic, deploying an initial $10 billion now and reserving up to $30 billion more contingent on performance targets. The pact expands Anthropic’s funding runway following Amazon’s recent multibillion-dollar commitment (reported ~$5 billion with an option to increase). Reports say Google will also provide substantial cloud compute capacity to Anthropic as part of the partnership. Markets reacted positively: Nasdaq and Alphabet shares rose, and observers continue to flag a possible Anthropic IPO later in the year. The agreement intensifies hyperscaler competition to secure frontier LLM talent, capacity and commercialization pathways and follows other infrastructure and funding moves across the LLM ecosystem.
CoreWeave stock rises 14% as revenue doubles
CoreWeave shares jumped in premarket trading after the AI-infrastructure provider reported stronger-than-expected Q2 results and raised guidance. Revenue was $2.58 billion, up 112% year-over-year, and adjusted loss per share was $1.03 versus a $1.20 expected loss. Operating expenses more than doubled to about $2.6 billion, producing an operating loss of $49 million and a wider net loss of $626 million. Management reported a $104 billion revenue backlog (excluding more than $25 billion of recent commitments), 1.5 GW of active data-center power, and highlighted major customers and partners. It guided Q3 revenue of $3.4–$3.6 billion and full-year revenue of $12.4–$13.2 billion, flagged materially higher capital spending, and said regulatory headwinds and debt levels warrant caution even as several firms raised price targets.
