00:02Google has backstopped lease payments at five data centers to help Anthropic obtain
00:06$35 billion in financing, according to Bloomberg. The arrangement deepens the complex financial
00:13ties between the two companies, with Google having previously been one of Anthropic's
00:17earliest equity investors. The financing for Anthropic also benefits Google directly,
00:22as it is the supplier of the chips Anthropic will use at those facilities.
00:26Broadcom used its credit ratings to help secure financing for Google to deliver TPU chips to
00:31Anthropic. The deal builds on an existing relationship, including a 2025 TPU partnership
00:38and Google's $10 billion investment in Anthropic two months ago. Representatives for Broadcom and
00:44Alphabet didn't respond to requests for comment, while Anthropic declined to comment.
