Broadcom is reportedly in talks to raise over $60B in debt for AI chip financing, potentially totaling up to $100B with senior and junior debt. The financing aims to support AI infrastructure, benefiting firms like Anthropic. This highlights the capital intensity of AI infrastructure and a shift towards debt markets and private credit. While this could accelerate AI development, it raises questions about the risks of high leverage and the industry's reliance on borrowed money.
