Nscale and Anthropic are reportedly in talks for yet another $45 billion compute deal

A little over a month ago, Anthropic and AI infrastructure company Nscale announced a $45 billion deal for computing power. Now, the two companies may be getting ready to make another deal of the same size.

Bloomberg reports that the companies are close to announcing another $45 billion deal for cloud computing, based on information from people who know about the talks. These people warned that the talks are still happening and that the details could change.

If the deal happens, it will be the latest in a long series of huge computing deals Anthropic has made over the past year. TechCrunch has asked Nscale and Anthropic for more information. It will update this story if either company responds.

The huge amounts of money being spent on AI computing deals have worried some investors. They fear that companies are spending too much money without making enough profit. Even so, Anthropic has continued making these deals because it believes the spending will eventually pay off.

Both Anthropic and Nscale are also working toward initial public offerings (IPOs), which would let people buy shares in the companies on the stock market. Anthropic is still expected to go public this year. Nscale also wants to go public, but Bloomberg reported today that some investors are pushing back against the company's proposed $30 billion value.
