Anthropic has entered a groundbreaking $45 billion agreement with Nscale to rent AI computing power over six years from a West Virginia data center. This deal will utilize approximately 460 megawatts of capacity supported by next-generation Nvidia chips. Nscale plans a US IPO next month, amid a backdrop of substantial revenue and prior partnerships. The site’s development costs are projected at $71 billion. Anthropic's ambitious plans follow Microsoft's earlier withdrawal from the location.
