AI cloud start-up Volta valued at $2.4bn, inks $10bn Anthropic deal

AI cloud start-up Volta has been valued at $2.4bn and has secured a $10bn strategic partnership with AI lab Anthropic, according to Bloomberg. Volta Infra, founded earlier this year by Ricard Boada and Sofia Gumuzio, aims to provide AI labs and start-ups with key infrastructure by developing, financing, building, and operating AI factories.

The company announced a deal with asset company Azora for $5bn of financing for its AI factories and plans to build sites in Norway, Texas, and Wyoming, with the first site in Norway expected to have a capacity of 133MW powered by Nvidia Vera Rubin systems. The unnamed AI lab involved in the $10bn Norway site deal is reported to be Anthropic, with the company having recently secured partnerships with AMD, Broadcom, and Amazon to boost its AI capacity.
