Anthropic seals US$35 billion cloud-computing deal with Nvidia-backed Lambda: Bloomberg

Deal is latest AI computing agreement tied to Nvidia

Anthropic, an AI chatbot company, has inked a US$35 billion cloud-computing agreement with Lambda, a cloud service provider backed by Nvidia, as per a source familiar with the situation. The infrastructure for this project is being built by Hut 8 in Texas. According to Bloomberg, Nvidia will lease the data center in Nueces County, Texas.

The deal is part of Nvidia's strategy to boost access to computing infrastructure and subsequently, demand for its technology. Anthropic, which recently spent US$45 billion on renting capacity from Nscale in West Virginia, is a significant consumer of data center power. The company has also signed cloud deals with Fluidstack and SpaceX for US$50 billion and US$45 billion, respectively.

Anthropic has not responded to requests for comment. Nvidia, Lambda, and Hut 8 have also declined to comment.
