Broadcom agrees to expanded chip deals with Google, Anthropic

Broadcom has agreed to produce AI chips for Google and signed an expanded deal with Anthropic, giving the AI startup access to about 3.5 gigawatts of computing capacity (the amount of processing power available at one time) using Google's custom processors called TPUs (tensor processing units, which are specialized chips designed to run AI models). This reflects growing demand for the computing infrastructure needed to run generative AI (AI systems that create new text, images, or other content) at scale.
