CoreWeave and Anthropic Sign Multi-Year Deal as Infrastructure Arms Race Heats Up
CoreWeave said Friday that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Anthropic "to support the development and deployment of the Claude family of AI models."
The deal, which kicks off later in 2026, will enable the San Francisco startup to run workloads on CoreWeave's cloud platform at production scale.
The news comes on the back of CoreWeave's announcement of a $21 billion investment from Meta to purchase its computing power, according to Bloomberg.
"We're excited to work with Anthropic at the center of where models are put to work and performance in production shows up," CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator said in a statement. "It's exactly the kind of real-world deployment of AI that CoreWeave was built for."
The deal includes a phased rollout across multiple data centers as the pair of companies focus on building industrial-scale AI capacity.
Billed as a "neo-cloud provider," CoreWeave offers hardware and cloud capacity as services to other tech firms. The company's entire infrastructure is built on Nvidia hardware. Nvidia became CoreWeave's third-largest investor after investing $2 billion at the beginning of 2026.
The Livingston-based company's other AI model maker customers include Microsoft and OpenAI, and Anthropic has parallel deals with Google, AWS, and Broadcom.
"AI is no longer just about infrastructure, it’s about the platforms that turn models into real-world impact," Intrator said.
