Broadcom to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to rent Google TPU SI chips, according to the IPO prospectus
Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Publication time restored from the build log. . Updated: .
Compute for SI is already being financed by the same companies that make it.
The convertible bonds cover about a third of Anthropic's five-year, $125.2 billion commitment for TPU capacity and can be exchanged for shares in the company; Broadcom may bring in a financing partner. Broadcom is at once chip supplier, lessor and lender, and the prospectus itself points to a "potential conflict of interest."
