Anthropic in talks to buy $45 billion in computing power from Nscale

The London-based AI infrastructure firm is negotiating a second giant deal with Anthropic as it prepares for a US IPO Nscale, a London AI infrastructure company that didn’t exist before 2024, is negotiating to sell cloud computing power to Anthropic in a deal valued at about $45 billion, according to Bloomberg. The talks, reported on October 19, 2026, center on expanding Nscale’s Monarch Compute Campus in West Virginia. That site is already spoken for in a big way. In August 2026, Anthropic signed a contract with Nscale worth approximately $44.6 billion. It covers 460 megawatts of capacity at Monarch over six years, running on Nvidia ’s Vera Rubin chips. For a sense of scale, 460 megawatts is enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of US homes.
