Anthropic has signed a cloud-computing deal worth $35 billion with Lambda, a cloud provider backed by Nvidia, for a Texas data center, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday. The project is being developed in Nueces County by crypto-mining-turned-AI data center company Hut 8 and covers a capacity of about 350 megawatts, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity as the information is not public. Anthropic, Nvidia, Hut 8 and Lambda did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters for comment outside regular business hours. Demand for computing infrastructure has surged following the introduction of generative AI services, prompting technology companies to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers equipped with advanced chips from Nvidia and other manufacturers.
