Broadcom to lend Anthropic up to $42bn for AI chip leases
Original: Broadcom will lend Anthropic up to $42bn to lease its AI chips
Broadcom has agreed to lend Anthropic as much as $42 billion so the AI startup can lease the chipmaker's custom AI processors. The deal deepens Broadcom's push into AI silicon while giving Anthropic a fresh way to fund the computing power behind its Claude models, without buying the hardware outright.
Why now: It is one of the largest vendor-financing deals in the AI chip race, highlighting how far companies will go to secure computing capacity.
