Anthropic in Early-Stage Talks to Lease Computing Capacity from Meta

Deep News00:50

Anthropic is engaged in very preliminary discussions to lease computing power from Meta.

These negotiations come just weeks after Anthropic secured a similar deal with SpaceX, leasing capacity from its 'Colossus 1' data center to expand its service capabilities for paying users.

At the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on February 19, 2026, Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei attended the event.

A source informed reporter Kate Rooney that AI company Anthropic is in preliminary talks with Meta Platforms, Inc. regarding a potential deal to lease computing power.

A report from The New York Times indicated the two sides are discussing a potential deal worth around $10 billion, which helped lift the social media giant's stock price from its intraday low on Friday.

Weeks ago, Anthropic announced a computing power collaboration with SpaceX, leasing capacity from its Colossus 1 data center to increase the service capacity for its paid subscription users.

This ongoing negotiation signals that Anthropic, as one of the world's leading AI labs, continues to make significant purchases of computing resources from peers to secure operational support from NVIDIA AI chips.

Meta has not yet commented on the matter.
