Broadcom to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to lease its chips, filing says

Anthropic's IPO prospectus documents extensive partnerships with a handful of big tech firms. One stands out: chip maker Broadcom . The company's relationship with Anthropic spans compute supply, equipment ⁠leasing and financing -- giving the semiconductor company a central role in Anthropic's infrastructure buildout. That differentiates it from other major partners and investors ​such as Amazon , which primarily provide ​cloud infrastructure and distribution for ​Anthropic's model Claude. As part of that complex relationship, revealed in the IPO filing, Broadcom has agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to finance infrastructure spending.
