Alphabet just rewired the AI capital race: $10 billion goes to Anthropic now at a $350 billion valuation, with another $30 billion tied to performance targets.

Alphabet’s planned investment is enormous even by 2026 AI standards: $10 billion committed now, with another $30 billion tied to performance targets. Reuters says the deal comes as Anthropic’s run-rate revenue tops $30 billion and the company races to lock in more computing capacity after parallel deals with Amazon, Broadcom, and CoreWeave.
