私募巨头黑石与Apollo正为Anthropic筹划巨额芯片融资

Odaily Planet Daily News: Private equity giants Apollo Global Management and Blackstone are bringing in more investors for a debt financing deal worth approximately $36 billion to help Anthropic build its artificial intelligence infrastructure.

According to sources, the debt financing will be used to purchase Google's custom TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) chips, which will then be leased by Anthropic. Broadcom, which assisted Google in developing the chip, will guarantee most of the deal. This move is expected to become one of the largest private credit transactions in history, and could also be the largest-ever debt financing deal for chips. The plan aims to leverage Broadcom's credit rating to provide computing power support for Anthropic.
