Anthropic signs $21bn deal for one million Google TPU chips
Anthropic committed $21 billion to Broadcom for nearly one million Google-designed TPU v7p AI chips, delivered as fully assembled rack systems for direct data center deployment. The deal bypasses Google as an intermediary and forms part of Anthropic's broader $10 billion commitment to Google's TPU infrastructure as the Claude maker scales from $1 billion to $7 billion in annualized revenue in nine months. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan is targeting $100 billion in AI chip revenue by 2027, positioning the company as a key alternative to Nvidia's GPU dominance through custom silicon partnerships.
