Anthropic Enters $35 Billion Cloud Computing Partnership in Texas

Buzzline

Anthropic has formalized a $35 billion agreement with Lambda, the Nvidia-supported 'neocloud,' to secure resources at a data center under construction in Nueces County, Texas, on land leased by Nvidia. This approximately 350-megawatt facility will provide Nvidia technology to support Claude, including the rapidly expanding Claude Code product. This agreement is part of a series of significant computing acquisitions made by Anthropic in recent weeks, which includes a reported $45 billion deal with Nscale in West Virginia and previous agreements valued at $50 billion and $45 billion, as AI firms compete to secure data center resources.

00:00The race to build out AI computing power just got another massive price tag.

00:04Anthropic has signed a $35 billion cloud computing deal with Lambda,

00:08an NVIDIA-backed cloud provider,

00:10to secure capacity at a new data center campus in Nueces County, Texas.

00:15NVIDIA itself holds the lease on the site,

00:17which is being developed by former Bitcoin miner Hutt8.

00:21The roughly 350-megawatt campus will deliver NVIDIA computing systems

00:25to power Anthropic's cloud models,

00:28including its fast-growing cloud code product for developers.

00:31This is just the latest in a string of enormous compute deals Anthropic has signed in recent weeks,

00:37including a reported $45 billion agreement in West Virginia,

00:41plus earlier deals worth $50 billion and $45 billion with other providers.

00:45The scale of these agreements shows just how much money

00:48AI companies are pouring into data center capacity right now,

00:52as demand for computing power to run increasingly advanced AI models keeps climbing.
