Lovable signs multi-year deal with Google Cloud to expand AI usage 5x, source says

Lovable, the fast-growing Stockholm-based startup known for its AI-powered “vibe-coding” platform, has signed a significant multi-year expansion of its existing partnership with Google Cloud, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal. The agreement, announced on Wednesday, is set to increase Lovable’s footprint on Google Cloud by five times, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence workloads.

A strategic bet on AI infrastructure

While the companies did not disclose the financial terms, the source told Bitcoin World that the deal includes expanded access to both Anthropic’s Claude model—widely used for coding tasks—and Google’s own Gemini models. This arrangement is notable because Google invested $10 billion in Anthropic in April, with a potential additional $30 billion contingent on performance targets, at a valuation of $350 billion. Just a month later, Anthropic raised a staggering $65 billion round, valuing the company at nearly $1 trillion.

The partnership could help Anthropic meet those performance targets, as Lovable is one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups on record. The company claims to have crossed $400 million in annualized revenue in February, adding $100 million in a single month with just 146 employees. It also reports that more than half of Fortune 500 companies use its product in some capacity.

Deeper integration with Google’s ecosystem

Beyond cloud infrastructure, the deal integrates Lovable into several other parts of Google’s ecosystem. Lovable’s new agent will be available through Google Cloud’s enterprise agent marketplace, the Gemini Enterprise Agent Gallery—an arrangement first telegraphed at Google’s major U.S. cloud conference in April. This move is designed to simplify enterprise procurement and billing, making it easier for Lovable to attract and retain large corporate customers.

To help secure the code generated by both humans and AI agents, Lovable will also integrate with Wiz, Google’s largest acquisition to date at $32 billion. The deal, which closed in March, allows Wiz to identify and remediate security problems in real time.

Why this matters for the AI and cloud markets

For Google, the calculus is straightforward. By keeping both Lovable and Anthropic growing through deep-pocketed enterprise clients, the revenue helps fund the $180 billion to $190 billion in capital expenditures the company plans this year. Google is already selling a record-breaking $85 billion in equity to cover some of those costs, leaving roughly $100 billion more to finance. This deal strengthens Google Cloud’s position as a home for high-growth AI startups and enterprise AI workloads, directly competing with Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.

For Lovable, the expanded partnership provides the infrastructure and enterprise credibility needed to sustain its rapid growth. For Anthropic, it offers a concrete path to meeting the performance targets tied to Google’s investment. For the broader market, it signals that the AI infrastructure race is accelerating, with cloud providers and startups increasingly interdependent.

Conclusion

The Lovable-Google Cloud deal is a clear signal of the deepening ties between AI-native startups and major cloud providers. By securing a fivefold increase in cloud and AI usage, Lovable gains the capacity to scale its enterprise offerings, while Google reinforces its ecosystem and helps fund its massive infrastructure buildout. The inclusion of Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini models highlights the strategic importance of multi-model access in the competitive AI landscape.
