View original source

Anthropic, an AI research lab, announced a significant agreement with Google and Broadcom to enhance its processing and compute capacity, supporting its Claude AI models. This collaboration marks a continuation and expansion of a 2025 deal to boost AI development capabilities.

  • The new deal includes the expansion of Anthropic's use of Google Cloud's tensor processing units (TPUs) and Broadcom's chips, with plans to bring an additional 3.5 gigawatts of compute capacity online by 2027.
  • The majority of this new infrastructure will be housed in the U.S., reflecting Anthropic’s previously stated commitment to a $50 billion investment in U.S. computing infrastructure.
  • The company has faced challenges, such as a recent labeling by the U.S. Defense Department as a supply-chain risk, although it has recently secured a $30 billion Series G funding round, valuing it at $380 billion.
  • Anthropic's current run-rate revenue has surged to $30 billion, a significant increase from $9 billion at the end of 2025, with over 1,000 business customers spending more than $1 million annually.
  • Krishna Rao, CFO of Anthropic, emphasized the partnership as crucial for their infrastructure scaling to meet growing customer demands and AI development goals.
