CoreWeave signed a multi-year deal on April 10 to supply the computing power behind Anthropic’s Claude models. (coreweave.com) CoreWeave said the agreement will support both development and production deployment of Claude, with new capacity scheduled to come online later in 2026. The companies did not disclose the contract’s dollar value. (investors.coreweave.com) Anthropic is adding CoreWeave as it looks for more chips and data-center capacity to meet rising demand for its artificial intelligence services. Bloomberg reported the infrastructure will span multiple Nvidia chip architectures across United States data centers. (bloomberg.com) CoreWeave’s stock jumped after the announcement. CNBC reported the shares were up about 11% on April 10, one day after CoreWeave announced a separate $21 billion expansion of its Meta contract through December 2032. (cnbc.com) That second deal matters because CoreWeave had been closely tied to Meta in investor discussions. The Anthropic agreement gives the company another marquee customer as it tries to show demand from a broader set of model developers. (cnbc.com) CoreWeave has been pitching itself as a specialist cloud built for artificial intelligence, renting out clusters of graphics processing units, or graphics chips, that train models and answer user prompts. In its February 26 results, the company said 2025 revenue reached $5.13 billion and contracted backlog rose to $66.8 billion. (investors.coreweave.com) Anthropic has been building a multi-supplier approach rather than relying on one cloud. On April 6, it said it had also signed a new agreement with Google and Broadcom for multiple gigawatts of next-generation tensor processing unit capacity starting in 2027, while describing Amazon Web Services as its primary cloud and training partner. (anthropic.com) CoreWeave said Anthropic becomes part of a customer base that now includes nine of the top 10 artificial intelligence model providers. That claim is hard to verify independently, but it points to the same pitch behind the stock reaction: scarce chips are flowing to companies that can line up capacity before rivals do.
