Meta projected spending up to $10bn a year on Anthropic’s AI models

Meta has become a major customer of Anthropic, projecting up to $10 billion annual spending on its AI models, despite public criticism from Mark Zuckerberg. This significant financial relationship contrasts with Meta's public stance against large AI labs consolidating power. Meta's internal use of Anthropic's coding tool surged early in the year but has seen some spending reductions recently.
