Anthropic in early talks with Meta to acquire compute power
Summary
Anthropic is in early negotiations with Meta to lease computing power (specialized hardware used to train and run AI models), following a similar deal with SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center. These talks reflect Anthropic's ongoing struggle to secure enough AI chips (particularly Nvidia processors) to support its advanced models like Fable, and represent Meta's broader effort to enter the cloud computing business to monetize its AI infrastructure investments.
