Anthropic has signed a $35 billion cloud-computing agreement with Nvidia-backed Lambda, another massive infrastructure commitment as the maker of Claude races to secure enough computing power to compete at the frontier of artificial intelligence.
The deal centers on a data center under development in Nueces County, Texas, and places Nvidia in an unusually prominent role across several layers of the transaction, according to an exclusive report from The Wall Street Journal. Nvidia will provide the chips powering the facility while also holding the lease on the underlying data center.
