Nscale and Anthropic reportedly discuss second $45B compute deal after August agreement

Nscale and Anthropic announced a $45 billion compute deal in August. The companies are reportedly discussing another compute deal of the same size.

For infrastructure planners, a reported second $45 billion deal suggests Anthropic may be seeking major additional compute capacity, but talks are not a signed agreement. The trade-off is between planning around potential demand early and overcommitting before terms, timing, and capacity details are known.
