Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet is set to gradually raise its block gas limit from 60M toward a 200 million target as part of the network’s Layer 1 scaling push. Prysm 7.2.0 and Teku 26.9.1 support the Glamsterdam upgrade, but validators must manually change settings for the new preference to take effect, so the realized limit will rise block by block rather than jump instantly. Ethereum’s block gas limit previously increased from 30M starting in February 2025 to 45M, and later moved to a 60M default after Fusaka client releases.

Broadcom has agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to fund AI infrastructure spending, Anthropic said in its IPO prospectus. Anthropic expects it will become the largest customer in Broadcom’s chip design business next year, tied to a $125.2 billion five-year commitment to lease computing capacity. Broadcom has projected AI semiconductor revenue of about $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028.

AI company Anthropic is preparing what it says could be the largest IPO in history, targeting a $2 trillion valuation. The prospectus shows the company lost more than $50 billion in the two years ending in 2025 and has more than $500 billion in spending commitments in the coming years. It also says 47% of 2025 revenue came from big-tech partners that also provide computing power. Nearly one-third of the filing is devoted to risk factors, outweighing the space used to describe the business, according to Reuters.
