- Anthropic's IPO prospectus discloses agreements to pay SpaceX up to $84.5 billion through 2029 for Nvidia-based compute, mostly cancellable with a 90-day notice period.
- Broader filing: Anthropic projects $518B+ in AI infrastructure spending over 10 years across six partners, with ~80% non-cancelable or payable regardless of usage.
Why it matters: A potential $84.5B commitment to SpaceX for compute illustrates how much infrastructure spending has scaled for frontier AI labs. The 90-day cancellation clause, however, means most of that exposure is theoretical — unlike the ~80% of Anthropic's broader $518B+ partner commitments that are non-cancelable and lock in costs regardless of usage.
