Anthropic signs $35 billion cloud deal with Nvidia-backed Lambda

Anthropic, a company behind an AI coding tool called Claude Code, has signed a massive cloud-computing deal worth $35 billion with Lambda, a Texas-based data center provider backed by Nvidia. This agreement is part of Anthropic's strategy to expand its computing power to meet the growing demand for its AI services. The project is being developed in Nueces County and will cover a capacity of about 350 megawatts.

Hut 8, a company that previously operated in the crypto-mining industry, is partnering with Anthropic on this venture. The data center will be equipped with Nvidia's advanced chips, a trend driven by the surge in demand for computing infrastructure following the introduction of generative AI services. Anthropic has already allocated $45 billion to rent AI cloud computing power from Nscale's West Virginia data center campus.

The deal will ensure Nvidia's capacity is utilized to meet the expanding demand for Anthropic's Claude AI.

The Consumer Affairs Agency is using AI to detect early signs of "scams that are bound to fail" and provide warning information. In response to a series of "lawsuits that are bound to fail" that have been reported in recent years, the Consumer Affairs Agency has analyzed the characteristics of such cases and developed an AI system to detect early warning signs. The AI system analyzes data such as company names, addresses, and representative names, as well as past court cases and scam reports, to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate a scam. When the AI system detects a suspicious case, it will provide warning information to consumers and alert them to be cautious. The Consumer Affairs Agency plans to make the AI system available to the public and use it to prevent consumers from being victimized by scams. The agency hopes that the AI system will help to reduce the number of "lawsuits that are bound to fail" and protect consumers from financial losses.
