Nscale, Anthropic in talks for $45 billion cloud computing deal, Bloomberg News reports | International

Nscale is in talks to sell computing power to the AI company Anthropic in a deal that could be worth about $45 billion, Bloomberg News reported on Monday. The report cited people who know about the talks.

Nscale, an AI cloud computing company backed by Nvidia that also builds data centers, is seeking another major deal with Anthropic, the company that makes Claude. According to the report, the deal would cover a second facility at Nscale's Monarch data center campus in West Virginia. Nscale and Anthropic did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Reuters could not independently confirm the report.

The news comes after Microsoft pulled out of a deal to become the main customer for a major Nscale data center. Delays in connecting the site to the power supply pushed the expected date for electricity to become available into the 2030s.
