KI: Anthropic schließt Vertrag über zehn Milliarden Dollar mit Start-up

San Francisco - Anthropic, the developer of the AI assistant Claude, has reportedly secured a deal worth ten billion US dollars of computing capacity from a relatively new infrastructure startup. This move by Anthropic aims to meet the growing demand for its products. The AI developer likely signed a contract for the use of a data center operated by Volta Infrastructure Holdings, a cloud startup backed by Nvidia.

Volta had announced on Tuesday that it had received a $10 billion contract from an unnamed AI lab. This contract is set to be implemented in collaboration with the Bitcoin mining company and data center operator Bitdeer Technologies Group at a location in Norway. The agreement, according to Volta, runs for six years. Volta CEO Ricard Boada declined to disclose the customers' names.

Representatives of Anthropic and Bitdeer refused to comment. In recent months, Anthropic has significantly intensified its efforts to secure additional computing resources. More and more companies and consumers are using its tools to make programming and other tasks more efficient.
