Meta Discusses Leasing AI Computing Power to Anthropic in Potential $10 Billion Deal

Meta is in talks to lease computing power from its AI data centers to Anthropic under an agreement that could total up to $10 billion over two years. The arrangement would create a new business line for Meta while highlighting the limited supply of specialized hardware required for large-scale artificial intelligence training.

The proposed lease would run for two years and involve Meta providing access to its data-center capacity, according to multiple reports. A completed transaction would allow Anthropic to expand model development without building or acquiring its own infrastructure at the same scale.

Computing power remains a scarce resource for companies advancing frontier AI systems. The potential Meta-Anthropic arrangement would illustrate how major technology firms are monetizing excess capacity while competitors seek additional resources.
