Anthropic has committed at least $518 billion to compute over a decade, about 80% of it non-cancelable, Reuters reported from its IPO prospectus. Most of that sits with Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Broadcom, whose risk is now whether one customer can keep paying into the 2030s.

ChronoScale says its signed AI compute contracts now annualize to $1 billion, against $71.6 million of revenue in its last fiscal year. The figure counts signed agreements, so the stock depends on capacity still being built turning them into cash.

Anthropic's IPO prospectus, seen by Reuters, shows $7.33B of 2025 compute spending against $4.59B of revenue and $518B in forward infrastructure obligations. For teams building on Claude, today's prices and capacity terms rest on a cost base the company still runs at an operating loss.

Anthropic's IPO prospectus lists $518 billion in compute and cloud obligations, about 41 times its $12.65 billion of total 2025 operating costs. Buyers are pricing how much capital the Claude maker needs before sales can carry that bill, as well as how fast it grows.

FastGPU's September 27 snapshot of 28 GPU clouds puts the cheapest hyperscaler H100 at $5.38 an hour, 3.0x the $1.79 market floor. That premium buys IAM, managed services and credits, and it is worth paying when a team actually uses them.
