Google shifts AI hardware costs away from its books

Google is working with partners like Broadcom and Blackstone to pay for Anthropic's data centers and chips. This complex plan helps Google support the startup while offloading some of the heavy financial burden to outside investors.

Anthropic now faces the responsibility of covering lease payments for this massive amount of technology. The deal includes roughly 200 billion dollars in contracts that depend on the company growing quickly.

This move shows how big tech companies are trying to fund the AI boom without locking up all their own cash. Google stays invested in Anthropic's success but keeps its own financial outlook safer if things do not go as planned.
