Broadcom strikes chip deals with Google, Anthropic

Broadcom will help develop TPUs and provide them to Anthropic.

Broadcom has announced it will produce future versions of artificial intelligence chips for Google, and separately signed an expanded deal with Anthropic to provide about 3.5 gigawatts worth of computing capacity to the AI startup, drawing on Google's AI processors.

The compute capacity comes courtesy of Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) as well as supplying its own networking components. It will come online in 2027. The deal with Google is a long-term agreement "for Broadcom to develop and supply custom TPUs for Google's future generations of TPUs," said Broadcom in its filing.

The two firms also entered a "Supply Assurance Agreement for Broadcom to supply networking and other components to be used in Google's next-generation AI racks through up to 2031," Broadcom said.
