Broadcom reportedly plans to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion

One account cites Reuters for a reported Broadcom loan to Anthropic; another post quotes a figure of up to $42 billion. The first account also claims Anthropic would become Broadcom's biggest compute customer and cites Bloomberg for a possible IPO as soon as mid-November 2026. It questions whether the financing resembles deals from the dot-com era.
