Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed) is now generally available

Anthropic says Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed) is now generally available. According to Anthropic, it brings the full set of Claude Platform features to Google Cloud, with Google Cloud IAM credentials, billing and commitment retirement.

Anthropic also says new features and betas will ship on Google Cloud the same day they go live on the native Claude Platform. It lists Claude Managed Agents (beta), code execution, computer use, agent skills, the Files API, web search and fetch, the MCP connector (beta), prompt caching and batch processing among the features available, along with access to the Claude Console.

Fast mode on Opus 5.5 is also generally available there, with up to 2.5x faster output at $8 input and $40 output per million tokens, according to Anthropic. Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are available, with US and Global endpoints. Billing is a single Google Cloud invoice, and usage draws down an existing Google Cloud commitment.

Anthropic operates this offering and acts as the data processor. The Google-managed offering remains for customers who need Google Cloud as the data processor, have strict regional data residency requirements, or want integrations such as Model Armor or Agent Engine. Customers with existing discounts should contact their account executive first, since discounts cannot be applied retroactively.
