GOOGLE BETS $40 BILLION ON ANTHROPIC — THE BIGGEST CORPORATE AI INVESTMENT IN HISTORY Google confirmed it will pump up to $40 billion into Anthropic — $10 billion immediately at a $350 billion valuation, with $30 billion more tied to performance milestones, plus 5 gigawatts of computing power thrown in for good measure. That is essentially handing Anthropic the infrastructure to train the next generation of frontier AI on Google’s dime. At this point, Google’s investment portfolio and the AI industry are practically the same spreadsheet.
