  "summary": "Nscale, the British AI infrastructure firm, is in talks to secure a second $45bn (£33.5bn) computing deal with US AI giant Anthropic, just a day after Microsoft pulled out of its flagship UK data centre project. The proposed agreement would involve supplying 460 megawatts of capacity powered by Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin chips, potentially doubling Anthropic’s Nscale commitments to almost $90bn. The talks come at a critical moment for Nscale, which is preparing for a New York stock market listing amid growing scrutiny of the vast sums being spent on AI infrastructure.",
