Event Summary

Alphabet Inc.>>> has signed a multi-year agreement with SpaceX>>> to secure artificial intelligence computing capacity, valued at $920 million per month, running from October 2026 through June 2029. This deal grants Alphabet Inc.>>> access to approximately 110,000 Nvidia>>> GPUs and related infrastructure hosted in SpaceX>>> data centers.
