Key PointsAlphabet's Google Cloud has the most to gain from Anthropic's success.

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic is on the brink of going public, with projections placing its valuation at $2 trillion. This marks a significant milestone, surpassing the previous record set by Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX -0.92%) at $1.75 trillion. A recent S-1 filing, prepared for Anthropic's initial public offering (IPO), sheds light on the company's aggressive expansion plans, revealing that it has allocated approximately $224 billion for cloud computing services over the next decade.

Amazon (AMZN -4.25%) and Alphabet (GOOG -12.29%) (GOOGL -12.64%) are the primary beneficiaries of this partnership, with each company expected to receive a substantial share of these funds. This substantial investment by Anthropic showcases the pivotal role that cloud computing providers may play in the AI boom.
