《华尔街日报》：Anthropic 的 630 亿美元芯片融资直到博通首席执行官陈福阳在一个周末与银行高管谈判，并同意提高贷款利率后才得以敲定。
Anthropic 需要 630 亿美元来租用其无力直接购买的芯片，因此一家空壳公司从银行和黑石借入这笔资金，将购买芯片，并用 Anthropic 支付的租金偿还贷款。
由于贷款机构对仅以一家初创公司为依托放贷感到不安，销售这些芯片的博通承诺，如果 Anthropic 停止付款，将承担大部分贷款，并同意提高利率以促成交易签署。

WSJ: Anthropic’s $63B chip financing closed only after Broadcom CEO Hock Tan negotiated with bank executives over a weekend and agreed to higher interest rates on the loans. Anthropic needed $63B to lease chips it can’t afford to buy outright, so a shell company borrowed that money from banks and Blackstone, will buy the chips, and will repay the loans from Anthropic’s rent payments. Because lenders were nervous about lending against a startup alone, Broadcom (which sells the chips) promised to cover most of the loans if Anthropic stops paying, and agreed to higher interest rates to get the deal signed.
