Broadcom And Google Expand AI Chip Partnership Through 2031
Broadcom has entered a long-term agreement with Google to develop and supply future generations of custom Tensor Processing Units, reinforcing its role in powering the backbone of AI innovation.
The deal also includes a supply assurance agreement for networking and infrastructure components that will support Google’s next-generation AI racks through 2031. This move signals a deeper integration between hardware and hyperscale AI platforms, where efficiency and scale are becoming critical differentiators.
The announcement, disclosed in a securities filing, highlights how demand for generative AI infrastructure continues to surge as companies race to build and deploy more advanced models.
Anthropic Taps Google And Broadcom For Multi-Gigawatt AI Compute
Alongside its Google deal, Broadcom is expanding its strategic collaboration with Anthropic, giving the AI company access to approximately 3.5 gigawatts of compute capacity starting in 2027.
This capacity will be powered by Google’s TPU-based systems and is part of a broader multi-gigawatt commitment aimed at supporting Anthropic’s growing AI workloads.
Anthropic confirmed the agreement in its official blog, stating, “We have signed a new agreement with Google and Broadcom for multiple gigawatts of next-generation TPU capacity that we expect to come online starting in 2027.”
The company emphasized that this expansion will power its Claude models and help meet rising global demand.
Claude’s Explosive Growth Drives Infrastructure Demand
Anthropic’s rapid growth appears to be a key driver behind this massive infrastructure push.
The company revealed that its annualized revenue has surpassed $30 billion, a sharp rise from approximately $9 billion at the end of last year. Additionally, more than 1,000 enterprise customers are now spending over $1 million annually, doubling in just two months.
“This groundbreaking partnership with Google and Broadcom is a continuation of our disciplined approach to scaling infrastructure: we are building the capacity necessary to serve the exponential growth we have seen in our customer base while also enabling Claude to define the frontier of AI development,” said Krishna Rao, CFO of Anthropic. “We are making our most significant compute commitment to date to keep pace with our unprecedented growth.”
The majority of this new compute capacity will be based in the United States, aligning with Anthropic’s earlier commitment to invest $50 billion into strengthening American AI infrastructure.

Multi-Cloud Strategy Keeps Anthropic Flexible And Competitive
Anthropic’s approach to AI infrastructure remains diversified, leveraging multiple hardware and cloud platforms including AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs.
This flexibility allows the company to match workloads to the most suitable hardware, improving performance and resilience for enterprise users.
Despite deepening ties with Google and Broadcom, Amazon remains Anthropic’s primary cloud and training partner, with ongoing collaboration on Project Rainier. At the same time, Claude continues to stand out as the only frontier AI model available across Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
Broadcom’s agreements with Google and Anthropic underline a broader industry trend, where access to compute is becoming as critical as model innovation itself.
As AI adoption accelerates across enterprises and consumer applications, companies are investing heavily in long-term infrastructure partnerships to secure capacity and stay competitive.
