Anthropic signs $35 billion cloud deal with Lambda

Anthropic has signed a $35 billion cloud computing deal with Lambda, a cloud provider backed by NVIDIA, for capacity at a Texas data center, Reuters reports, citing a source familiar with the matter.

The project is being developed in Nueces County by Hut 8 and covers about 350 megawatts of capacity. The capacity will support demand for Anthropic's Claude AI services.

The deal follows Anthropic's $45 billion AI compute agreement with Nscale for a West Virginia data center campus. Reuters also noted that Anthropic, NVIDIA, Hut 8, and Lambda did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.
