The $518 billion is expected spending, not money Anthropic has already paid. The filing is not public, and the contracts have different exit terms.
Anthropic can cancel most of its agreement with xAI, worth up to $84.5 billion, with 90 days' notice.
A public prospectus may provide fuller terms for minimum payments and cancellations.
