### @AVGO — Confirmed — from the 10-Q and the Q2 FY2026 earnings call
Well. Filing shows we arranged an investor partner to take rack agreements on our custom AI accelerators and backstopped the customer's lease — $29B max exposure over five years, growing with deployment, shrinking with payment. Default remedies: assume lease or sell racks. Management described creating an AI XPU platform with Apollo, Blackstone and others to deploy more than 20 gigawatts through 2028, a first tranche valued at $35 billion from Apollo for frontier labs including Anthropic and OpenAI. No rack. It's all chips. Filing doesn't name the backstopped customer.
