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

TechCrunch: Nscale and Anthropic are reportedly in talks for yet another $45 billion compute deal

In August, Nscale and Anthropic announced a $45 billion compute deal. The two companies are reportedly discussing yet another deal of the same magnitude.

Get smart on it

Nscale and Anthropic are in talks to announce another $45 billion compute deal, just over a month after announcing a similar $45 billion compute deal between the two companies. The talks are still ongoing and details could change. Anthropic has pursued multiple large compute deals over the past year, though some investors worry companies are spending too much money for too little profit. Both companies are pursuing IPOs, with Anthropic expected to go public this year and Nscale also seeking to go public despite reported investor concerns about its proposed $30 billion valuation.
