Anthropic's commitment of more than $100B over ten years to AWS technologies, announced with Amazon's up-to-$25B investment (amazon-anthropic-investment-2026-04) and up to 5 GW of new Trainium capacity. Sits alongside Anthropic's $30B Azure commitment and the Google TPU agreement as the third leg of its stated multi-cloud strategy. Circular: buyer and provider are cross-invested.

Conditions: Includes deployment of up to 5 GW of new Trainium compute capacity for training and serving Claude, with significant Trainium3 capacity expected online in 2026. The 5 GW is an up-to ceiling, so no MW is recorded on this row; the ledger only counts capacity floors.

Anthropic's expanded Google Cloud TPU commitment: access to up to one million TPUs and over 1 GW of capacity online in 2026, announced 2025-10-23. The row demonstrates the MW-only inclusion path: no dollar value was ever disclosed, so none is recorded, and the reported tens-of-billions figure stays out of every total. Part of Anthropic's stated multi-cloud approach across Google TPUs, Amazon Trainium and Nvidia GPUs.

Conditions: Dollar value never disclosed by either party; contemporaneous tier-1 reporting put it at tens of billions of dollars. Capacity recorded at the disclosed floor: over 1 GW of compute coming online in 2026, with access to up to one million TPUs.

The earliest row in the ledger and the template for compute-linked equity: Amazon's additional $4B investment (total $8B) announced alongside AWS becoming Anthropic's primary cloud and training partner on Trainium silicon. The compute relationship this seeded later produced Project Rainier (~500,000 Trainium2 chips activated October 2025, ~1M by year-end) and the April 2026 expansion (amazon-anthropic-investment-2026-04, anthropic-aws-commitment-2026-04). Circular: the compute provider funding its own customer.

Conditions: Doubled Amazon's total Anthropic investment to $8B; only the incremental $4B tranche is recorded on this row. Announced with AWS becoming Anthropic's primary cloud and training partner, training on AWS Trainium.
