Anthropic in talks to lease up to $10B in computing capacity from Meta

Meta and Anthropic are in early-stage discussions for Meta to lease AI computing capacity to Anthropic in a deal reportedly worth up to $10 billion over two years, according to Reuters. Anthropic proposed the arrangement in June, and would pay Meta in monthly instalments, though the terms remain subject to change and either company could exit early. The talks are complicated by Meta's lack of an existing business selling computing power.
