“Cantiamo solo quando peschiamo.” That’s a direct translation of one of Grimsby Town’s most coveted chants: “We only sing when we’re fishing.” Everything sounds better in Italian but, as this League Two side from Lincolnshire, halfway up the east coast of England near the River Humber, have discovered, everything looks better in Italian, too. Grimsby…

知情人士透露，社群媒體巨擘Meta Platforms正洽談出租運算能力給人工智慧（AI）新創公司Anthropic事宜，潛在交易金額高達100億美元，為期兩年。 傳Meta跨足算力租賃市場，百億美元合作案曝光。（圖／翻攝自X平台 @HJB_News） 消息傳出後，Meta股價跌幅略為收斂，但受到今天科技股普遍走弱影響，終場收跌逾2%，盤後交易小幅續挫。 若交易達成，Meta可藉由出租自有基礎設施創造營收，降低對廣告業務的依賴，並與CoreWeave、Nebius等「新雲端」（neocloud）業者競爭。隨著先進AI工具日益普及，市場對高效能算力的需求持續攀升。 消息人士指出，Anthropic將在兩年內以每月分期方式支付給Meta，但條款仍可能變動，兩家公司可提前終止任何協議。 消息人士指出，正籌備首次公開募股（IPO）的Anthropic今年6月提出這項合作構想，目前Meta仍在評估。不過，Meta目前並未從事算力銷售業務，使得談判變得複雜。 消息人士表示，目前雙方處於初步洽談階段，最終未必會達成協議。 Meta未立即回應路透社置評請求，Anthropic則拒絕評論。 Meta與Anthropic合作如果成真，將與馬斯克（Elon Musk）旗下太空探索科技公司（SpaceX）近期採取的策略相呼應。 Anthropic今年5月與SpaceX達成協議，使用其位於美國曼菲斯（Memphis）Colossus 1資料中心的全部算力。 Meta執行長祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）近期在股東大會表示，進軍雲端運算市場「絕對在考慮範圍內」，並稱幾乎每週都有企業上門，希望取得他們AI模型或閒置運算資源的使用權。 彭博（Bloomberg）本月稍早也報導，Meta正打造雲端運算業務，計劃對外出售多餘算力，並為開發者代管AI模型。
