  • AI startup Anthropic is reportedly in talks with Meta to lease up to $10 billion (approximately 15 trillion won) in data center computing resources.
  • If the deal is finalized, Meta would enter the cloud computing market by providing its infrastructure to an external company.
  • The agreement would involve Anthropic leasing Meta's computing resources for two years.

Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is reportedly negotiating a significant deal with Meta to lease substantial data center computing power. The potential agreement, valued at up to $10 billion (around 15 trillion won), would involve Anthropic securing access to Meta's vast infrastructure for a two-year period.

This potential transaction marks a strategic move for Meta, signaling its entry into the cloud computing sector. By offering its self-built AI infrastructure to an external entity like Anthropic, Meta could establish a new revenue stream and leverage its existing investments in computing power.

Details of the negotiation suggest that Anthropic aims to secure these resources to support its ongoing AI development and operations. The scale of the proposed lease underscores the immense computational demands of modern AI research and deployment, highlighting the critical need for robust and scalable infrastructure.
