Latest update (11-10 15:53): Anthropic can cancel a $34.9B Lambda GPU contract after Lambda missed a lease deadline

Overview: Anthropic can now terminate its $34.9 billion August 2026 GPU cloud agreement with Lambda because Lambda did not secure a facility lease by the set date, according to Anthropic's amended S-1 filing. The filing says neither party has delivered a termination notice, and Anthropic says it does not currently intend to terminate.

The August deal is one of three Anthropic signed with Lambda in 2026, covering NVIDIA GPU capacity; the agreements total about $41.3 billion over terms into 2034. Under these contracts, fees accrue only as capacity is delivered and accepted.
