据路透社报道，博通计划借给Anthropic高达420亿美元用于租赁其芯片，这加剧了芯片制造商为推动其产品需求的AI建设提供融资的趋势。

据《经济学人》撰文，英伟达也在为一批前沿实验室提供融资，随着为算力提供动力的稀缺芯片需求激增，英伟达正在成为一种“AI央行”。
Nvidia is also financing a slew of frontier labs, in the process becoming a kind of “central bank of AI,” The Economist wrote, as demand surges for the scarce chips powering compute.
但据路透社报道，银行家们正在对英伟达5000亿美元的芯片抵押融资计划提出质疑，一些人寻求比最初概述的更强有力的担保。
But bankers are raising questions about Nvidia’s $500-billion chip-backed financing plan, Reuters reported, with some seeking stronger guarantees than originally outlined.
