The funds are intended to support the growth of Anthropic PBC and unnamed \"other companies,\" which may include OpenAI Group PBC. The debt financing deal could include between $60 billion and $70 billion worth of senior notes, which must be paid back before other obligations in the event of bankruptcy.

The platform aims to facilitate over 20 gigawatts of data projects through 2028, all using Broadcom silicon. Broadcom is a leading supplier of chips for data center switches and the world's top maker of host bus adapters, which connect servers with storage equipment. AI accelerators have become a significant revenue source for Broadcom, including the TPU line of machine learning processors developed with Google LLC.",
