Earlier this year, the ChatGPT developer partnered with Broadcom to develop custom processors.\n\nThe chipmaker’s debt financing deal could reportedly include between $60 billion and $70 billion worth of senior notes. Those are loans that the borrower must pay back before its other obligations in the event of a bankruptcy. It’s believed that Broadcom may guarantee a portion of the debt. Additionally, the company could reportedly add about $30 billion worth of junior notes, debt instruments that are only repaid after the borrower offloads all its senior debt.\n\nIt’s unclear what AI initiatives Broadcom plans to support with its chip financing deal. However, today’s report did specify that Blackstone and Apollo Global Management are among the investors from which the chipmaker hopes to raise the funds.\n\nIn June, the three companies [launched](https://ir.apollo.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/630/broadcom-apollo-and-blackstone-establish-landmark) an investment vehicle called the AI XPV Platform. It has provided Anthropic with $35 billion in financing to support data center construction initiatives. Those projects are expected to bring more than 1 gigawatts of computing capacity online this year. According to Broadcom, the AI XPV Platform’s longer-term goal is to facilitate more than 20 gigawatts worth of data projects through 2028.\n\nNotably, the infrastructure that the fund will finance will use Broadcom silicon. The company is a major supplier of chips for data center switches. It’s also the world’s top maker of host bus adapters, which are used to connect servers with storage equipment.\n\nAI accelerators have emerged as another major source of revenue for Broadcom. The chipmaker helped Google LLC develop its TPU line of machine learning processors. In April, the [companies](https://www.reuters.com/business/broadcom-signs-long-term-deal-develop-googles-custom-ai-chips-2026-04-06/) extended their engineering partnership to 2031. The same month, Google and Broadcom [announced](https://siliconangle.com/2026/04/06/anthropic-taps-google-broadcom-yet-ai-chips-revenue-run-rate-tops-30b/) plans to provide Anthropic with several gigawatts of TPU computing capacity.\n\nIn June, Broadcom and OpenAI [debuted](https://siliconangle.com/2026/06/24/openai-broadcom-debut-custom-jalapeno-chip-llm-inference/) a jointly designed inference accelerator called Jalapeño. The ChatGPT developer expects the chip to provide better performance than current graphics processing units. According to OpenAI, the accelerator’s speed is partly the fruit of optimizations designed to reduce data movement.\n\nBroadcom expects to generate more than $100 billion in revenue from AI chips next year. Anthropic will [reportedly](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/06/broadcom-agrees-to-expanded-chip-deals-with-google-anthropic.html) account for more than 40% of that sum.\n\n##### Photo: [Broadcom](https://twitter.com/Broadcom/status/1633586458660581376/photo/2)\n\n# A message from John Furrier, co-founder of SiliconANGLE:\n\nSupport our mission to keep content open and free by engaging with theCUBE community. **Join theCUBE’s Alumni Trust Network**, where technology leaders connect, share intelligence and create opportunities.\n\n**15M+ viewers of theCUBE videos**, powering conversations across AI, cloud, cybersecurity and more** 11.4k+ theCUBE alumni**— Connect with more than 11,400 tech and business leaders shaping the future through a unique trusted-based network\n\n### Are you an AWS customer?
