Anthropic has signed infrastructure agreements with Amazon, Google, Broadcom and SpaceX for additional compute, alongside memory-supply partnerships with Micron, Samsung Electronics and SK HynixCITE:E14CITE:E13.
The company's May 28 announcement named Micron, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as strategic infrastructure partnersCITE:E13. Anthropic also signed for up to 5 gigawatts of new capacity with Amazon, 5 gigawatts of next-generation TPU capacity with Google and Broadcom, and an agreement with SpaceX for GPU resources on the Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 systemsCITE:E14. Claude became the first top-tier model to run simultaneously on AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, with AWS remaining Anthropic's primary cloud and training partnerCITE:E15.

Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei has said public resistance to AI reflects a broader "trust crisis" rather than opposition to the technology itselfCITE:E19.
Amodei said that people generally do not trust corporations, governments or the tech industry, and tend to suspect the industry is again devising some new way to take advantage of themCITE:E19. That framing comes as Anthropic's own second-quarter figures remain unsettled: the company has said the numbers are still under discussion and could be revised, and it declined to comment furtherCITE:E5.
Anthropic's $65 billion Series H, closed on May 28, already looks conservative set against a run rate that had reached $47 billion that same month and a 14-fold revenue jump the company later described to investors for the following quarterCITE:E12CITE:E6CITE:E20. That growth trajectory is unfolding alongside a compute build-out spanning Amazon, Google, Broadcom, SpaceX and three major memory makers, and a listing timeline that could put Anthropic ahead of both OpenAI and DeepSeekCITE:E14CITE:E13CITE:E11. At the same time, Anthropic's own acknowledgment that its Q2 figures remain under discussion and subject to revision, paired with Amodei's description of AI skepticism as a "trust crisis," places a still-unconfirmed growth story next to a leadership message about earning public confidenceCITE:E5CITE:E19.
