The New York Times reported that Meta internally projected at one point this year that it could spend as much as $10 billion annually on Anthropic's models. The report, citing unnamed people familiar with private information, said Meta had become a heavy user of Anthropic products but later reduced some spending. Meta and Anthropic declined to comment, and the projected figure has not been confirmed as actual spending.
