Broadcom is in talks with lenders to raise over $60 billion in debt for an AI chip financing deal. This deal will benefit Anthropic and other companies.

Broadcom's financing deal is separate from another AI hardware start-up, Fractile, which is in talks to raise around $600m in funding. Fractile has reached an initial deal to sell around $250m of its chips to Anthropic for deployment in 2027, according to Bloomberg.

Fractile's new funding round is set to be co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Redpoint Ventures. The start-up aims to enable the scaling of cheaper AI token processing for faster model reasoning by building hardware that offers “low latency and high throughput”.
