Coreweave Signs Anthropic to Multi-Year Cloud Pact as AI Demand Grows

Coreweave‘s (Nasdaq: CRWV) deal, announced Friday, will bring compute capacity online later this year in a phased rollout, with potential to expand over time. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Anthropic joins a client base that now includes nine of the world’s top 10 AI model providers on Coreweave’s platform. The New Jersey-based cloud company has built its business around GPU-accelerated infrastructure designed specifically for large-scale AI workloads.

Anthropic will power its operations using Coreweave’s cloud platform. Coreweave provides the necessary computing power, fast storage, and efficient network connections, along with user-friendly software, all specifically designed for AI development and deployment.

Michael Intrator, CEO and co-founder of Coreweave, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with Anthropic, highlighting that it represents the practical application and performance testing of AI models that Coreweave is designed to support. He stated that this collaboration embodies the real-world AI deployment Coreweave was created for.

Anthropic, founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, is among the leading AI research companies in the United States. Its Claude models compete directly with offerings from OpenAI and Google. The company has expanded its infrastructure partnerships as demand for its models grows across developers, startups, and enterprise customers.

On Friday, Coreweave shares jumped close to 11%, and over the last week, the stock has climbed 34%.

Coreweave went public on the Nasdaq on March 28, 2025, raising approximately $1.5 billion in one of the largest AI-related listings to date. The company posted $5.13 billion in revenue for full-year 2025 and carries a revenue backlog of $66.8 billion. It projects revenue of $12 billion to $13 billion for 2026.

The Anthropic deal adds to a client roster that includes Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta. OpenAI has a contract valued at more than $12 billion. Meta signed an expanded infrastructure agreement worth $21 billion. Microsoft has historically accounted for more than 60% of Coreweave’s revenue, though the company has worked to diversify that concentration.

Coreweave is currently ranked #1 in AI cloud performance, efficiency, and reliability according to both Semianalysis ClusterMAX 1.0 and 2.0. They also achieve the best scores in industry-standard AI performance tests (MLPerf).

The company operates 32 to 43 data centers across the United States and Europe, with hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs deployed. Coreweave has set a target of 1.7 gigawatts of power capacity by end-2026, with a longer-term goal of multi-gigawatt expansion in partnership with Nvidia by 2030.

Coreweave was founded in 2017 as Atlantic Crypto, an ethereum mining operation. After the 2018 to 2019 crypto market downturn, the company shifted its GPU inventory toward rendering and machine learning workloads, rebranded to Coreweave, and moved fully into AI cloud infrastructure as generative AI demand accelerated.

Nvidia has made a significant investment in Coreweave and plans to add another $2 billion in 2026. Coreweave’s computing power relies heavily on Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs), including the H100, H200, and the new Blackwell GB200 NVL72 series.

Coreweave intends to invest between $30 billion and $35 billion in 2026 to support its growth. The company aims to exceed $30 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027.
