Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic said Thursday it was expanding its use of Google cloud computing and specialized chips in a deal worth tens of billions of dollars.

The arrangement will include Anthropic buying as many as one million Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which are integrated circuits custom-designed by Google, according to the San Francisco-based startup.
