Anthropic’s IPO prospectus depicted relationships involving Big Tech partners across multiple roles, including distribution, financing, computing supply, and competition. The filing used those interconnections to frame how enterprise AI lab economics can depend on the same large technology firms it competes against.

Reuters calculated that Anthropic pays roughly 16% of every dollar it earns from its cloud partners, Amazon and Google, back to those partners. It also said the calculation treats full contract values sold through a cloud marketplace as revenue, while classifying the cloud platform’s cut as marketing cost. It further said OpenAI’s approach differs by counting only what it keeps after the cloud partner takes its share.

The prospectus also described Broadcom’s role as spanning compute supply, equipment leasing, and financing. As part of that setup, Broadcom agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to finance infrastructure spending, while Anthropic would become Broadcom’s largest customer in its chip design business next year. The filing said the hardware and financing roles could create “potential conflicts of interest” affecting Anthropic’s ability to access needed computing power.

Anthropic disclosed additional details on its Broadcom and Google relationship, including a deal where Google provides TPU chip capacity starting in 2027, with Broadcom designs for Google’s TPUs manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan. The filing also said Anthropic expected not to sell any notes before completing its IPO, and that a convertible note could finance about a third of a $125.2 billion commitment for a five-year TPU computing capacity lease. “It feels that there’s quite a concentrated bet right now on two companies being able to generate enough revenues to ​support all the financing that’s happened,” said Robert Leitao, managing partner of Rothschild & Co.
