Fractile reached a preliminary agreement to sell $250 million of AI inference chips to Anthropic for 2027 use.

Fractile and Anthropic reached a preliminary agreement under which Fractile would sell approximately $250 million of AI chips to Anthropic. The chips are expected to enter use in 2027, and the parties reportedly plan to expand the scale of their relationship.

Fractile was founded in 2022 and focuses on AI inference chips, which execute trained models to generate answers and perform other model-serving tasks. The source distinguishes these products from chips primarily used to train AI models.

The chip agreement is preliminary, not described as a completed sale or recognized revenue. No deployment volume, per-chip price, delivery schedule, or final contract conditions were provided.

Separately, Fractile was reported to be in advanced financing discussions to raise approximately $600 million at a $6.5 billion pre-money valuation. Three months earlier, it had completed a $220 million financing led by Accel, Founders Fund, and Factorial Funds at an approximately $1 billion post-money valuation.
