  "account": "Broadcom is negotiating with a group of lenders to secure over US$60 billion in debt for an AI chip financing deal that will benefit companies like Anthropic, according to sources familiar with the matter. The financing, still being finalized, may include a roughly US$30 billion junior debt tranche, according to some sources. Broadcom would guarantee a portion of the senior-secured tranche, which could range from US$60 billion to US$70 billion, potentially pushing the total amount to as much as US$100 billion. This deal would add to a surge of financing for AI infrastructure, as AI companies seek to secure enough computing capacity. Blackstone and Apollo Global Management are among the investors considering participation in the chip financing, following a June partnership with Broadcom to help fund computing infrastructure. The debt would be issued by a special-purpose vehicle. After initially declining, Broadcom shares saw a rise of up to 1.1% in late trading following Bloomberg News reports on the discussions. The stock has gained 5.2% this year. The potential deal could enable firms like Anthropic to access chips and other essential AI infrastructure, potentially similar to the US$35 billion debt agreement that initiated the AI XPV partnership. The financing might be implemented incrementally rather than all at once. Talks are ongoing, and details could change.",
