- Per the regulatory filing, Google will pay $920m per month from October 2026 through June 2029 for access to roughly 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory and other components.
- The deal is similar in scale to SpaceX's contract with Anthropic ($1.25bn/month) and includes a mutual right to terminate with 90 days' notice after 31 Dec 2026.
