Investing.com - Baird reviewed its coverage list following the S-1 filing by Anthropic (NASDAQ:ANT), which disclosed over $200 billion in NVIDIA-based compute commitments and significant spending agreements with multiple cloud providers and chip manufacturers.
Anthropic reported that 2Q26 revenue increased 1,368% year-over-year while compute and infrastructure costs grew 300% year-over-year. The company’s compute efficiency, measured by revenue per dollar of compute, increased to 5.2x from the 1Q25 level to 2Q26.
The company’s NVIDIA-based commitments include up to $120.5 billion with SpaceXAI through 2029, approximately $44.6 billion with Nscale through 2033, and approximately $41.3 billion with Lambda through 2034. Monthly costs are expected to reach approximately $3.1 billion once all capacity is delivered in December 2026.
Anthropic disclosed approximately $161.2 billion of aggregate rent payments under five-year Broadcom equipment leases providing TPU-based compute, with capacity starting to come online in 2026. The company committed to spend at least $114.5 billion with Google between April 2026 and July 2033, at least $110 billion with Amazon between May 2026 and April 2036, and at least $44.9 billion with Microsoft between November 2026 and May 2033.
AMD’s Helios deployment with MI450 GPUs is expected to begin in 2027, with Anthropic expecting spending to exceed $20 billion over the agreement’s term if full initial capacity is procured. AMD has committed to purchase up to $5 billion of Anthropic stock against GPU delivery and deployment milestones, with the first milestone expected in 2027.
In other recent news, Anthropic has announced that its Claude artificial intelligence assistant is now integrated with Google Workspace apps such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. This integration is available through a new add-on in public beta for all paid Claude plans, allowing users to access Claude directly from a sidebar within these applications. Additionally, Yorkville Ives has highlighted Anthropic’s substantial growth as it targets enterprise customers in the AI market, despite risk factors disclosed in its S-1 filing related to compute capacity and commitments that are partly debt-funded. In a notable development, Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, is scheduled to brief the United Nations Security Council on AI risks alongside OpenAI’s CEO. Meanwhile, China’s internet regulator is investigating DeepSeek and Moonshot AI for allegedly routing sensitive user data to Claude models, as reported by Anthropic. Furthermore, New York has announced that AI developers will need to register under the RAISE Act starting in November, with compliance requirements including transparency and safety reporting. These recent developments reflect significant activity and regulatory scrutiny in the AI sector involving Anthropic.
