SAN FRANCISCO — Google has signed a major cloud computing agreement with SpaceX worth approximately $920 million per month, underscoring the growing demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure as tech companies race to expand their AI capabilities.
According to regulatory filings and multiple media reports, the agreement will provide Google with access to around 110,000 Nvidia-powered GPUs and related computing infrastructure from October 2026 through June 2029. The deal is estimated to be worth more than $30 billion over its full term.
The partnership comes as Google seeks additional computing capacity to support growing demand for its AI services, particularly its Gemini Enterprise platform. A Google spokesperson described the arrangement as a temporary measure designed to bridge capacity needs while the company continues expanding its own infrastructure.
The agreement represents a significant milestone for SpaceX, which has increasingly expanded beyond its traditional space and satellite businesses into artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company has recently secured several large-scale compute contracts as it prepares for a highly anticipated public offering.
Industry analysts say the deal highlights the intense competition among major technology firms for AI computing resources. Training and operating advanced AI models require enormous processing power, driving demand for specialized data centers equipped with high-performance Nvidia chips.
Reports indicate that Google’s access to the infrastructure will ramp up gradually, with reduced fees during the initial deployment period. The agreement also includes performance-related provisions allowing Google to terminate the arrangement if agreed capacity targets are not met within specified timelines. Both companies reportedly retain options to exit the deal with advance notice after the end of 2026.
The contract follows another major computing agreement involving SpaceX and AI startup Anthropic, further strengthening the company’s position in the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market. Together, the deals could generate tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue for SpaceX.
The announcement also arrives as investors closely watch SpaceX’s expected IPO, which analysts believe could become one of the largest public offerings in history. The company’s growing AI-related business is increasingly viewed as a key driver of future revenue alongside its Starlink satellite internet network and launch services.
As demand for AI services continues to surge worldwide, partnerships between cloud providers and infrastructure operators are expected to become increasingly common, reshaping the competitive landscape of the technology sector.
