Anthropic Expands AI Capacity by $35 Billion with Broadcom Partnership

AI Summary

Apollo and Blackstone are financing a $35 billion expansion of AI computing capacity for Anthropic (private) using Broadcom's custom chips and networking solutions. This project will increase Anthropic’s AI computing capacity by one gigawatt, sufficient to power approximately 750,000 homes. The deployment of this capacity will start at Fluidstack-operated sites in mid-2026, with plans to achieve over 20 gigawatts by 2028 for top AI labs, including OpenAI. This partnership supports Broadcom’s strategy in the competitive AI landscape as companies seek alternatives to Nvidia.
