Artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) startup Anthropic (PC:ANTPQ<\/a>) is in early discussions with Alphabet\u2019s (GOOGL)<\/a> subsidiary, Google, about a cloud computing deal that could be worth tens of billions of dollars, Bloomberg reported. The potential agreement would deepen Google\u2019s role as Anthropic\u2019s infrastructure provider.<\/p>\n

Following the news, GOOGL stock<\/a> rose more than 3% in after-hours trading, reflecting investor optimism about Google\u2019s growing role in the AI<\/a> arms race.<\/p>\n

The deal, still under negotiation, is expected to expand Anthropic\u2019s access to Google Cloud\u2019s computing power, a key resource for training and deploying large-scale AI models.<\/p>\n

It must be noted that Google has already invested about $3 billion in Anthropic \u2014 $2 billion in 2023 and another $1 billion earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why Does This Deal Matter?<\/p>\n

As enterprise adoption of AI accelerates, cloud providers are racing to secure long-term partnerships with top model developers. Anthropic already uses Google Cloud for some of its workloads, and this new deal would deepen that partnership.<\/p>\n

It would also place Anthropic\u2019s alliance with Google alongside other major AI-cloud pairings, such as OpenAI\u00a0(PC:OPAIQ<\/a>) with Microsoft (MSFT)<\/a> and Meta (META)<\/a> with Amazon\u2019s (AMZN)<\/a> AWS.<\/p>\n

As AI models become more demanding, having access to powerful cloud infrastructure is not just a technical advantage but a key factor driving revenue for cloud providers.<\/p>\n

For Google, the deal could help solidify its position as a leading AI cloud provider, especially as it competes with Microsoft Azure and AWS. For Anthropic, it would ensure the compute scale needed to train next-gen models while maintaining independence from rival platforms.<\/p>\n

What Is the Target Price for Google Stock?<\/p>\n

On TipRanks,\u00a0GOOGL stock<\/a>\u00a0has received a Strong Buy consensus rating, with 29 Buys and eight Holds assigned in the last three months. The average\u00a0Alphabet stock price target<\/a>\u00a0is $259.40, suggesting an upside potential of 3.57% from the current level.<\/p>\n
