Anthropic Negotiates $45 Billion Nscale Compute Deal for Second West Virginia Facility

Summary
$45 billion in talks would give Anthropic AI computing power from Nscale for a second facility at the Monarch data center campus in West Virginia.
Nscale is pursuing another major agreement with the Claude developer after already securing Anthropic infrastructure deals worth as much as $44.6 billion, according to its IPO filing.
The negotiations would deepen Anthropic’s reliance on large-scale external compute as AI companies race to lock in scarce data-center capacity.
For Nscale, which is backed by Nvidia and preparing an IPO, another Anthropic contract would strengthen its position as a major supplier of AI infrastructure.
