Anthropic 完成 $63B 芯片融资，Broadcom 承诺承担大部分贷款风险
Anthropic 通过壳公司完成 $63B 芯片融资，用于租赁无法直接购买的芯片，并以租金偿还银行贷款。Broadcom CEO Hock Tan 周末与银行高管协商并接受更高贷款利率后交易才敲定；由于贷款方担心仅向一家初创公司放贷，Broadcom 承诺在 Anthropic 停止付款时承担大部分贷款。
WSJ: Anthropic’s $63B chip financing closed only after Broadcom CEO Hock Tan negotiated with bank executives over a weekend and agreed to higher interest rates on the loans.
Anthropic needed $63B to lease chips it can’t afford to buy outright, so a shell company borrowed that money from banks and Blackstone, will buy the chips, and will repay the loans from Anthropic’s rent payments.
Because lenders were nervous about lending against a startup alone, Broadcom (which sells the chips) promised to cover most of the loans if Anthropic stops paying, and agreed to higher interest rates to get the deal signed.
