Anthropic has made its Claude models reachable via Google Cloud. The Claude API runs under Anthropic’s management but is accessed through a Google Cloud project. Google Cloud IAM now controls who can call the API, and billing goes through the Cloud Marketplace. A fast mode option is also live for the Claude Opus 5.5 model.
Why it matters
Enterprises using Google Cloud can now add Anthropic’s Claude AI to their workflows without separate contracts, and they can choose a faster response mode for the newest Opus model.
