Anthropic’s cloud partnerships are getting messy

What happened: A leaked S-1 filing shows Anthropic struggling to secure enough cloud capacity from AWS, Google, and Microsoft, which increasingly view the Claude-maker as a competitor rather than a customer. Key numbers: Anthropic believes it could spend more than $750 billion on cloud contracts. Why it matters: Anthropic is leasing its own data centers and working with third-party operators, but the filing flags their "limited operating history" as a reliability concern. The filing also warns Anthropic could be held liable for damages from harmful AI behavior beyond its insurance coverage.
