The Infrastructure Arms Race: What Anthropic's $45 Billion Bet Means for AI Anthropic has made a significant commitment to Nscale, agreeing to spend roughly $45 billion renting cloud computing power over six years.
This deal covers 460 megawatts of power at Nscale's flagship data center development in West Virginia and will run on Nvidia's next generation Vera Rubin chips, set to go online by the end of 2027.
At first glance, this massive investment appears to be about Anthropic preparing for a potential IPO, which could value the company at over $2 trillion.
