Broadcom (AVGO) CEO Hock Tan said that capital, rather than chip supply, will be the biggest constraint on AI development, as the industry expands infrastructure spending to support increasingly capable models.
Media reports say Tan said the company was overcoming shortages of wafers and memory but expected financing to become the main bottleneck.
Tan also said frontier AI companies OpenAI (OPENAI) and Anthropic (ANTHRO) had demonstrated that their latest models, including those used in AI personal assistants, could generate significant revenue.
Broadcom is in early discussions to arrange more than $50B in debt financing to help OpenAI fund purchases of custom AI chips the companies are jointly developing, according to media reports.
The company is also lending Anthropic up to $42B to help finance infrastructure spending. The financing is part of a broader relationship involving the supply and leasing of computing equipment. Reuters has reported that Anthropic is expected to become Broadcom's largest customer for its chip-design business in 2027.
There are also reports that Broadcom's Wall Street syndicate is beginning to arrange $60B in new AI chip financing for Anthropic and other companies.
