Original: Broadcom to lend Anthropic up to $42B to lease chips: report (AVGO:NASDAQ)
Broadcom has agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion, which the AI startup will use to lease chips from Broadcom, according to a report. The deal deepens the financial ties between the semiconductor supplier and the OpenAI rival, and highlights the enormous sums now flowing through the AI infrastructure supply chain as companies secure computing power.
Why now: The enormous scale of vendor financing in the AI chip race is raising questions about circular dealmaking and demand sustainability.
