3 Key Points

  1. 1

    What happened: Anthropic announced it will spend over $100 billion(約16兆円) on Amazon Web Services over the next 10 years, including up to 5 gigawatts of compute capacity. The company also uses over 1 million Amazon Trainium 2 chips and up to 1 million of Alphabet's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), and relies on Nvidia's GPUs as well. Anthropic's annualized revenue has roughly tripled since the end of 2025, exceeding $30 billion(約4.8兆円) in early 2026.

  2. 2

    Why it matters: Anthropic's scale-up is directly translating into revenue for the chip makers and cloud providers that power Claude. Amazon's chip business exceeded $20 billion(約3.2兆円) in annualized revenue in the first quarter, growing at triple-digit rates. Google Cloud revenue skyrocketed 63% year over year last quarter, with a backlog that doubled to $460 billion(約74兆円). Broadcom's AI chip revenue more than doubled in the most recent quarter, and Nvidia's data center revenue surged 85% year over year. These are the companies positioned to capture value from the AI infrastructure buildout.

  3. 3

    What to watch: Broadcom expects AI chip revenue to exceed $100 billion(約16兆円) in fiscal 2027, more than double its trailing-12-month total revenue of $75 billion(約12兆円). Anthropic will gain access to multiple gigawatts of next-generation TPUs starting in 2027. Nvidia is set to ramp up its next-generation Vera Rubin platform later this year, designed for agentic AI workloads.
