Just over a month after announcing a $45 billion compute agreement, Anthropic and AI infrastructure provider Nscale are reportedly negotiating a second massive deal.
According to Bloomberg, citing individuals familiar with the discussions, the companies are poised to announce another $45 billion compute agreement. However, sources emphasized that negotiations are ongoing and the specifics remain subject to change.
Should this potential transaction materialize, it would mark the latest installment in a series of substantial compute agreements Anthropic has secured over the last year. TechCrunch has contacted both Nscale and Anthropic for additional details and will provide updates as available.
The significant financial resources being directed toward AI compute arrangements has caused concern among some investors, who fear excessive spending with limited immediate returns. Nevertheless, Anthropic has continued to pursue these partnerships, driven by the conviction that long-term profitability will eventually be realized.
Both organizations are currently pursuing initial public offerings. Anthropic remains on track for a public debut this year. Conversely, Nscale is also seeking an IPO, though Bloomberg reported today that it is facing investor resistance regarding its proposed $30 billion valuation.
