A report said Anthropic disclosed a minimum Google spending commitment of approximately $121.3 billion for the period from April 2026 through July 2033. The commitment applies regardless of actual usage, with spending shortfalls triggering true-up payments subject to contractual adjustments and exceptions. The report characterized the amount as a demand signal, not revenue Alphabet has already earned.
