Nscale and Anthropic are in talks on another compute deal worth about $45 billion, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the matter who cautioned that talks are ongoing and details could change. Anthropic agreed in August to spend $45 billion renting computing power from Nscale's West Virginia data center campus. Reuters, citing a person familiar, says the new deal would cover a second building at the Monarch campus delivering 460 megawatts with Nvidia Vera Rubin chips, and that Anthropic has a right of first refusal on a third. Both companies are pursuing IPOs, per TechCrunch.
