KI: Anthropic schließt milliardenschweren Deal mit Nvidia-Partner

Mexico City - Anthropic, the AI firm, has reportedly signed a $35 billion deal with cloud provider Lambda, backed by Nvidia, according to an insider. The agreement pertains to the use of a data center in the U.S. state of Texas, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday. The project, with a capacity of around 350 megawatts, is being developed by the data center operator Hut 8.

Statements from the mentioned firms were not immediately available. The surge in demand for computing infrastructure since the introduction of AI services is the backdrop for this deal. Anthropic, a competitor of OpenAI, is expanding aggressively to cover the anticipated demand for its AI products, such as the programming tool Claude Code.

The company had announced the previous week its intent to spend $45 billion on renting computing power in a data center in West Virginia. The "Wall Street Journal" had first reported on the new contract.
