Nscale and Anthropic in talks for $45 billion computing deal

Nscale is in talks to supply Anthropic with $45 billion worth of AI computing capacity, according to reports. The proposed deal would expand their existing partnership and strengthen Nscale’s pitch for a $30 billion valuation ahead of its planned IPO. The proposed deal revolves around a second building at Nscale’s Monarch data center campus in West Virginia. Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that the facility would provide 460 megawatts of capacity and run on Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin chips. The potential agreement is also expected to give Anthropic a right of first refusal on a third building planned for the campus.
