The 32-month deal runs from October 2026 to June 2029. A Google Cloud spokesperson said the contract is meant to temporarily address capacity shortages from higher-than-expected demand for the Gemini Enterprise agent platform.","whyItMatters":"The deal shows that even a major cloud provider like Google needs external supercomputing capacity to meet AI demand, following a similar but larger contract between Anthropic and SpaceX announced the month before.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGoogle has entered a contract with SpaceX for computing capacity at a rate of $920 million per month, according to a report from GIGAZINE. The agreement, which runs from October 2026 to June 2029, gives Google access to 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other components housed in a SpaceX data center. The contract follows a similar deal between SpaceX and AI company Anthropic, announced in May 2026, which carries a higher monthly rate of $1.25 billion. Unlike the Anthropic contract, which specifies use of SpaceX's Colossus 1 supercomputer, Google's contract does not name a specific supercomputer. A Google Cloud spokesperson told CNBC that the arrangement is intended to temporarily alleviate capacity shortages caused by higher-than-expected demand for the Gemini Enterprise agent platform. If SpaceX cannot deliver the contracted GPUs by the end of September 2026, Google can terminate the contract immediately or accept a reduced number of GPUs after a one-month grace period. Either party may terminate with 90 days' notice.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Google signed a $920M/month deal with SpaceX for 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, and memory in a SpaceX data center.
