According to the Wall Street Journal, Google is planning to provide a backstop and supply chips to Anthropic.
This move aims to support Anthropic's data center construction and expansion needs. This follows previous reports that several banks are in talks to lend up to $15 billion for Anthropic's data centers, backed by Google. The development further highlights the intense competition for computing resources among major AI companies and the deepening infrastructure-level ties between tech giants.
