## Anthropic talks safety, spends billions
CEO Dario Amodei published an essay calling for AI labs to slow development due to safety concerns. But Anthropic agreed to spend $517 billion on computing power in just 11 months.

> the company's actions tell a much different story
## Nvidia dominates AI chip market
Nvidia's GPUs power most AI workloads and remain the primary chips for Anthropic's infrastructure. CEO Jensen Huang forecasts AI spending will reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030.

## Broadcom and Alphabet's TPU windfall
Anthropic will become Broadcom's largest customer, deploying custom Tensor Processing Units co-designed with Alphabet. Broadcom will deliver 1 gigawatt of Ironwood TPUs this year and 5 gigawatts of TPU v8i in 2027.

> Anthropic will become Broadcom's largest customer
## Amazon's $100 billion AWS commitment
Amazon owns about 20% of Anthropic and has received over $100 billion in AWS cloud commitments from the company over the next decade. Anthropic will use Amazon's Trainium accelerators and Graviton CPUs.

> Amazon has received more than $100 billion in AWS cloud commitments
## Five stocks poised to benefit
Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Alphabet, and Amazon are the primary beneficiaries of Anthropic's $517 billion compute spending. Each company supplies critical chips or infrastructure for the AI lab's expansion.
## Key takeaway

Anthropic's actions contradict its rhetoric on AI safety, with $517 billion in compute commitments benefiting Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Alphabet, and Amazon.
