[Broadcom plans to provide up to US$42 billion in financing to Anthropic, which may become Broadcom's largest chip design customer next year] On October 1, according to media reports citing Anthropic's IPO prospectus, Broadcom has agreed to provide Anthropic with up to US$42 billion in financing for infrastructure spending and chip leasing. The financing covers approximately one-third of Anthropic’s US$125.2 billion TPU computing power leasing commitment over the next five years. Anthropic is expected to become the largest customer of Broadcom's chip design business in 2027, and the two parties will form an in-depth cooperative relationship of "chip supply + infrastructure leasing + financing". The prospectus also disclosed that Broadcom is both a supplier and a financier, which may cause conflicts of interest.
