Broadcom Inc. said in an SEC 8-K filed April 6, 2026, that it will develop custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and supply networking components for Google through 2031. The filing also revealed an expanded collaboration giving Anthropic access to multi-gigawatt TPU capacity starting in 2027.
Google Agreement and Supply Commitment
Broadcom disclosed a long-term agreement with Google LLC to develop and supply custom TPUs for Google’s future TPU generations. The filing also described a supply-assurance arrangement for networking and other components used in next-generation AI racks, extending through 2031. This ties Broadcom to multi-year commitments in AI hardware for Google’s cloud infrastructure.
Anthropic TPU Capacity Expansion
The SEC filing said Anthropic PBC will access about 3.5 gigawatts of next-generation TPU-based compute capacity via Broadcom beginning in 2027. This access depends on Anthropic’s continued commercial success, and the parties are discussing operational and financial partners for deployment. Anthropic’s April 6 press release confirmed the expansion will provide multiple gigawatts of TPU capacity through Google-built TPUs supplied by Broadcom.
Neither the filing nor the press release disclosed financial terms, volumes, or pricing, leaving near-term revenue timing tied to deployment and commercial outcomes. Together, these agreements deepen Broadcom’s role in cloud-scale AI hardware by aligning product development and supply with a major hyperscaler and linking an AI startup’s compute expansion to Google Cloud and Broadcom hardware.
"Broadcom Inc. has entered into a long-term agreement with Google LLC to develop and supply custom Tensor Processing Units ('TPUs') for Google’s future generations of TPUs," the company said in the SEC filing.
