Anthropic has signed a $35 billion cloud computing deal with Lambda, an Nvidia-backed cloud provider. That's according to Reuters, citing an anonymous source. The data center is being built in Nueces County, Texas, with roughly 350 megawatts of capacity. Hut 8, a former crypto mining company, is developing the facility. Nvidia itself holds the lease for the data center, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The deal is part of a massive infrastructure push by Anthropic ahead of its planned IPO. Just last week, the company announced a $45 billion contract with Nscale for a data center in West Virginia. The added capacity is meant to keep up with growing demand for its AI model Claude and its coding tool Claude Code.
Hut 8 had announced a 15-year lease with an unnamed client back in July. None of the companies involved commented on the deal to Reuters.
