Meta Explores $10 Billion Deal to Sell Computing Power to Anthropic
The reported talks point to a possible new business for Meta, and a fresh sign of how scarce high-end AI compute still is.
Entities: Anthropic, Meta
The New York Times, cited in posts by Mike Isaac and Andrew Curran, reports that Meta is in early talks to lease computing power to Anthropic in a potential $10 billion deal. If it happens, the arrangement could mark the start of a cloud-computing business for Meta, as the company faces scrutiny over heavy AI infrastructure spending. Andrew Curran’s post also says Anthropic proposed a two-year deal in June and that discussions are ongoing.

@AndrewCurran_ Negotiations between major technology companies reflect how shared infrastructure is becoming a practical way to advance AI work across the industry. Both sides can benefit from more efficient resource allocation.
@MikeIsaac @elitanjourno Like many of Zuck’s non-social bets, this will not yield enough revenue to justify the absurd capital outlay.
