Anthropic to Rent AI Computing Power From Nscale for $45 Billion, Source Says
The agreement expands Anthropic’s computing capacity as it faces pressure to support growing Claude demand and defend its $965 billion valuation, company officials said.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic signed a six-year, $45 billion agreement with Nscale to rent 460 megawatts of AI compute capacity at a data center development in West Virginia.
- Growing demand for Claude AI models caused 'inevitable strain' on Anthropic's infrastructure, prompting the startup to secure new capacity to meet surging demand for products like Claude Code.
- Nscale will deploy Nvidia's new Vera Rubin chips at the facility, expected to come online by late 2027 and reach about 1.35 gigawatts when fully finished.
- Securing this capacity is vital for Anthropic, which faces pressure to justify its $965 billion valuation ahead of a planned U.S. initial public offering.
- Prior compute agreements with SpaceX and Fluidstack underscore competitive pressure from OpenAI and Google, with this Nscale deal representing the largest single entry in Anthropic's contracted revenue column.
