Meta, Anthropic in early talks for potential $10 billion compute lease deal

business

Meta Platforms Inc. is in early discussions to lease computing power from its data centers to Anthropic PBC. This potential arrangement could be worth as much as $10 billion over a period of two years.

The talks are currently in a preliminary stage and could still fall through. This development comes weeks after Anthropic announced a separate $1.25 billion-per-month arrangement with SpaceX to utilize Nvidia GPUs at the Colossus 1 data center.

A finalized deal would underscore the current scarcity of computing power available for artificial intelligence development. It could also create a new line of business for Meta.
