Anthropic's updated IPO filing discloses $895.4B in compute and infrastructure commitments, with $447.5B due before 2031.
- Breakdown: $161B in Broadcom equipment leases, $121B with Google, up to $120B with SpaceX, $110B with Amazon
- With Amazon and Microsoft backlogged, it signed GPU renters like Lambda and ex-crypto miners like TeraWulf that already control land and power
- To cut delays, Anthropic buys Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom chips and cooling gear itself for faster installs
- Only $213.8B is cancellable or conditional — most must be paid even if demand slows
Financially, it swung from a $974M operating profit in Q2 to a $567M operating loss in Q3, driven by $5B of short-term compute (much pricier than long-term contracts) and a $2B noncash charitable-matching charge. The filing warns it may need to raise money sooner than expected.
