在 SpaceX 即将进行 1.75 万亿美元市值的历史性 IPO 前夕,该公司已与谷歌达成了一项重要的计算资源租赁协议。从 2026 年 10 月到 2029 年 6 月,谷歌将每月支付 9.2 亿美元,以租用约 11 万张英伟达 GPU 及相关硬件。 在此之前,SpaceX 最近刚与 Anthropic 签署了一份类似的协议,每月租金为 12.5 亿美元。尽管谷歌在人工智能基础设施领域已占据主导地位,但该公司表示,其 Gemini 企业平台面临“激增的客户需求”,因此需要这种补充性的“桥接算力”。该合同包含一项从 2026 年底开始生效的双方解约条款。 这笔交易巩固了 SpaceX 在纳斯达克上市前的财务地位,公司计划通过此次 IPO 筹集约 750 亿美元。除硬件租赁外,据报道,两家公司还在探讨未来在轨道数据中心方面的合作,这是 SpaceX 长期战略的核心支柱。谷歌作为 SpaceX 的长期投资者,预计在 IPO 后其持股价值将超过 1000 亿美元。

一份最新报告显示,谷歌已同意每月向 SpaceX 支付 9.2 亿美元以获取计算资源。该合同包含相关条款,规定若 SpaceX 未能在 2026 年底前达到特定的 GPU 交付目标,谷歌有权终止协议或减少付款。 Hacker News 上的讨论对此持怀疑态度,许多用户质疑该交易的真实性。批评者认为,该协议可能是一种财务运作,旨在 SpaceX 潜在的首次公开募股(IPO)之前推高其估值,而非真正的业务交易。有人猜测,SpaceX 在为 Grok AI 项目构建了过剩的数据中心容量后,正试图将未充分利用的硬件变现。另一些人将其与 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 等公司涉及的类似“循环交易”相提并论,即通过公司间互换收入来提升内部指标。 总体而言,社区质疑为何像谷歌这样的科技巨头要向一家太空探索公司租用基础设施,许多人得出结论:这笔交易更多是出于战略性财务姿态,而非实际的计算需求。

SpaceX has lined up another compute deal ahead of its historic IPO, this time with Google. The company announced the deal in a regulatory filing on Friday.

Under the terms of the deal, Google will pay SpaceX $920 million per month from October 2026 through June 2029 for access to “approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components.”

The deal is similar in length and scope to the one SpaceX announced with Anthropic in late May. As part of that deal, Anthropic agreed to pay SpaceX $1.25 billion per month through 2029 to rent all the available compute from its Colossus 1 data center near Memphis, Tennessee, that xAI — now part of SpaceX — originally built for its own artificial intelligence efforts.

Google’s deal appears to be paying for roughly half the amount of compute that Anthropic has access to at Colossus 1. SpaceX didn’t say which specific data center Google would be using. CEO Elon Musk has previously suggested his company would reserve the Colossus 2 data center for xAI.

Anthropic was significantly limited in its compute capacity prior to its deal with SpaceX, raising usage limits on the same day the deal was announced. Google is in a very different position, with some estimates naming it as the world’s largest single owner of AI compute.

In a statement, a Google representative described the deal as a result of unexpected demand for its recently launched AI products. “Google Cloud and SpaceX are long-time partners,” Google said in a statement. “This is a short-term, timely agreement to ensure we have bridge capacity to meet surging customer demand for our agent platform, Gemini Enterprise, which has been even higher than we expected.”

But its parent company Alphabet is on a spending spree. Alphabet has already committed to more than $180 billion in capital expenditures this year and has said it expects that to “significantly increase” in 2027. To help with that, Alphabet recently announced an $80 billion equity sale.

Also like the Anthropic deal, the agreement with Google includes a cancellation clause. Both SpaceX and Google have the option to terminate the agreement with 90 days’ notice after December 31, 2026. Google’s access to the data center will ramp up “through September at a reduced fee,” according to the filing.

“If we fail to deliver access to the committed amount of GPUs by September 30, 2026, then following a one-month grace period, Google may immediately terminate the agreement or accept the number of GPUs provided” with a reduction in the monthly fees, it reads.

SpaceX announced the deal just one week before the company’s stock is expected to start trading on the Nasdaq exchange. Paperwork filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows the company is aiming to raise around $75 billion at a valuation of around $1.75 trillion — making it the largest in history.

Google is a longtime investor in SpaceX. Its stake in Musk’s company is expected to be worth more than $100 billion after the IPO. The companies are also reportedly in talks to try to build orbital data centers — a major component of SpaceX’s future plans post-IPO.
