Anthropic and Nscale in talks for additional $45 billion compute deal

According to TechCrunch, Anthropic and AI infrastructure provider Nscale are in talks to sign another $45 billion compute agreement, just over a month after the two companies announced their initial $45 billion deal last month. Bloomberg cited sources familiar with the matter to report the news, noting that negotiations remain ongoing and details could change. Both companies are advancing their IPOs: Anthropic still expects to go public this year, while Nscale plans to list at a $30 billion valuation but faces investor resistance.
