Nscale and Anthropic Reportedly in Talks for Another $45 Billion Compute Deal

A Second $45 Billion Agreement

Nscale and Anthropic are reportedly in discussions to sign another $45 billion compute deal, according to Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the matter. The report comes just over a month after the two companies announced a compute agreement of the same size.

Bloomberg's sources cautioned that talks are still under way and that the details of a potential agreement could change. TechCrunch reached out to both Nscale and Anthropic for more information and will update the story if the companies respond.

A String of Giant Compute Deals

If the deal goes through, it would be the latest in a long string of giant compute deals Anthropic has struck over the past year. The company has pressed on with such partnerships despite concerns from a segment of investors who worry that companies are spending too much money for too little profit. Anthropic's position is that the spending will pay off in the end.

IPO Plans for Both Companies

Both companies are also currently pursuing initial public offerings. Anthropic is still expected to go public this year. Nscale is seeking to go public as well, although Bloomberg reported that the company is experiencing investor pushback over its proposed valuation of $30 billion.
