Abstract generation in progress
Mars Finance News: On May 29, the latest reports indicate that private equity giant Apollo Global Management and Blackstone Group are bringing in additional investors for a debt financing transaction of approximately $36 billion, to help Anthropic build its artificial intelligence infrastructure. Insiders said the debt financing will be used to purchase Google’s custom TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) chips, which will then be leased for use by Anthropic. Broadcom, the company helping Google develop the chip, will provide guarantees for most of the funds for this deal. This move is expected to become one of the largest private credit transactions in history, and it may also be the biggest chip financing debt deal to date. The plan aims to leverage Broadcom’s credit credentials to provide computing power support for Anthropic. (Wide-angle observation)

$36B to buy TPU and then lease it to Anthropic—Google’s custom chips have become hard currency.

Anthropic no longer buys cards themselves, instead they rent them, which greatly reduces cash flow pressure.

Private equity credit shifts to AI infrastructure, traditional banks probably stunned.
