Google Cloud makes an Anthropic-managed way to run Claude generally available

Google Cloud has made generally available an Anthropic-managed option for Claude models on Google Cloud, alongside its existing Google-managed option. Google says both get new models on day zero, at the same pricing and with Google Cloud billing. With the Anthropic-managed option, Anthropic is the data processor under its own commercial terms, and customers get Claude Platform features such as Claude Managed Agents (beta), skills and code execution on day zero while still using Google Cloud IAM, Cloud Audit Logging and eligible commitments. The Google-managed option keeps Google as data processor under existing agreements, with VPC Service Controls, customer-managed encryption keys and data residency in the US, EU and APAC, but new platform features arrive only once they are integrated.
