New York —
Meta is in talks with Anthropic about leasing computing capacity to the AI startup. It’s a move that could put the social media giant in competition with Amazon, Microsoft and Google in a new line of business: cloud computing.
The conversation about a potential deal is still early, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN.
The talks were first reported by the New York Times, which pegged the deal’s worth at as much as $10 billion over two years, citing three people with knowledge of the discussions. CNN’s source said any specific numbers that have been reported are speculative.
Meta and Anthropic declined to comment on the talks.
