AI startup Anthropic is currently in discussions to procure $45 billion worth of computing capacity from Nscale, a data center developer backed by Nvidia. According to reports from Bloomberg, the two parties could finalize the multi-billion dollar agreement as early as the coming days.

The massive scale of the $45 billion commitment is expected to significantly strengthen Nscale’s prospects for a future initial public offering. This potential deal underscores the intensive capital requirements for AI infrastructure and the growing influence of Nvidia-supported developers in the sector.
