Broadcom signs long-term deal to develop Google’s custom AI chips

Anthropic said the deal gives it multiple gigawatts of TPU capacity as demand for its Claude models and AI infrastructure spending rises.

  • On Monday, Broadcom signed a long-term agreement with Google to design and supply custom tensor processing units and networking components for Google's next-generation AI data racks through 2031.
  • Demand for custom chips such as Google TPUs has surged in recent years as businesses seek alternatives to Nvidia's pricey graphics processors, with TPU sales becoming crucial to Google's cloud revenue growth.
  • Beginning in 2027, Anthropic will access roughly 3.5 gigawatts of next-generation TPU-based compute capacity via Broadcom, forming part of the startup's broader multi-gigawatt expansion plan.
  • Anthropic reports annualized run-rate revenue surpassed $30 billion, up from approximately $9 billion at year-end 2025, with more than 1,000 business customers now spending over $1 million annually.
  • Most new compute capacity will be sited in the United States, expanding Anthropic's November 2025 commitment to invest $50 billion in strengthening American computing infrastructure as companies recruit additional operational partners.
