TSMC Allocates $1 Billion to OpenAI and Anthropic

TSMC has approved an investment of up to $1 billion directed at Anthropic and OpenAI. The company board authorized a $500 million contribution for each of these technology firms. This move reinforces the chipmaker's strategy to integrate itself into the ecosystem of advanced model development.

The investment in Anthropic will occur at the initial public offering price. The company is seeking a market valuation that could reach $1.4 trillion. The process also involves a $26 billion private funding round backed by giants such as Google and Nvidia.

The Taiwanese manufacturer maintains its position as an essential supplier for the artificial intelligence sector. Demand for graphics processors used in complex models continues to exceed the company's current production capacity. TSMC has recorded six consecutive quarters of record profit.

To sustain growth, the company is expanding its global infrastructure. Investments of $265 billion are underway for new facilities in the United States. The company projects a 44% revenue increase by 2026.
