Anthropic continues compute-gobbling streak in $45 billion deal with Nscale

Anthropic has signed a deal to rent about $45 billion in AI compute from Nscale, a British AI infrastructure company, a source familiar with the deal told TechCrunch.

Nscale, founded only in 2024, has already cut deals with the likes of Microsoft, and will supply Anthropic with compute via Nvidia’s Vera Rubin chips, its new state-of-the-art chip system.
