Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic Managed)

A new way for Google Cloud customers to use the full Claude Platform, run by Anthropic and billed through Google Cloud.

  • Anthropic runs the service and handles your data, so new Claude features and betas ship on the same day they go live on the native Claude Platform
  • Includes Claude Managed Agents, code execution, computer use, agent skills, the Files API, web search and fetch, prompt caching, batch processing, and the Claude Console
  • Sign-in uses Google Cloud credentials, and usage appears on one Google Cloud invoice that draws down an existing Google Cloud commitment
  • Models available: Claude Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Haiku 5.5. Opus 5.5 fast mode is included at $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens
  • The existing Google-run option stays for teams that need strict regional data residency or Google tools like Model Armor. This one launches with US and Global endpoints only
  • Generally available now through the Google Cloud Marketplace

Best for

Companies that buy through Google Cloud and want the same Claude features as the native Claude Platform

When to use it

Your team's AI spend has to go through a Google Cloud commitment, but you need Claude features that arrive late or not at all on the Google-run version

Who benefits

IT and procurement leads at Google Cloud shops, plus the developers building on Claude inside them
