Microsoft, Nvidia and Anthropic Forge AI Alliance to Scale Next-Gen Models

• Trio partners to scale AI models and build next-gen compute
• Anthropic commits massive Azure compute purchase
• Nvidia and Anthropic team up to co-design future GPU systems

Microsoft, Nvidia and Anthropic have formed a major new partnership to speed up AI model development and expand access to next-generation computing. The deal brings together Microsoft’s global cloud platform, Nvidia’s leadership in AI hardware and Anthropic’s advanced Claude models at a time when demand for powerful AI systems is rising fast.

Under the agreement, Anthropic will run and scale its Claude models on Microsoft Azure, using Nvidia-powered infrastructure. This gives enterprises broader access to Anthropic’s frontier systems while offering Azure customers more model choices. Anthropic has committed to buying $30 billion worth of Azure compute and securing additional capacity of up to one gigawatt, one of the biggest compute commitments ever announced in the AI sector.

Anthropic will also make its latest models, including Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.1 and Haiku 4.5, available on Microsoft Foundry. With this move, Claude becomes the only top-tier AI model available across all three major cloud platforms, strengthening Anthropic’s reach among global businesses.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Nvidia and Anthropic will work closely to optimize Claude’s performance and influence Nvidia’s future chip designs. The compute backing for this partnership will rely on Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems, designed for high-efficiency AI workloads.

Microsoft is expanding its own relationship with Anthropic by bringing Claude into the Copilot ecosystem, including GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio. To support the partnership, Nvidia plans to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic, while Microsoft will invest up to $5 billion.
