Anthropic Negotiates Second $45 Billion AI Data Center Deal with Nscale
Anthropic is negotiating a potential second $45 billion deal with Nscale for a 460-megawatt AI data center at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia. This would expand their existing agreement worth about $44.6 billion. The facility would use Nvidia's Vera Rubin AI chips, with Nscale owning and operating the infrastructure while Anthropic purchases computing capacity. Discussions remain ongoing with no final agreement, and Anthropic holds rights for future expansion at the campus. The deal could enhance Nscale's IPO prospects amid a planned US stock market debut.
