As the race to build larger and more powerful artificial intelligence systems accelerates, access to computing infrastructure has become one of the technology industry's most valuable commodities, with companies increasingly willing to spend billions of dollars to secure processing capacity.
Meta Platforms is in talks to lease computing power from its artificial intelligence data centers to Anthropic in a deal that could be worth as much as $10 billion over two years, according to people familiar with the discussions. The arrangement, if completed, would mark a significant shift for Meta, which has historically built infrastructure primarily for its own products and AI initiatives.
