Anthropic Commits $45B for 6 Years of Nvidia Vera Rubin Compute

- Anthropic is reportedly committing $45 billion to Nscale for six years of Nvidia Vera Rubin compute in West Virginia, with capacity expected online in late 2027.
- At an average of $7.5 billion per year, the deal reserves scarce compute, power, cooling, and data-center capacity rather than purchasing hardware outright.
- This move adds a late-2027 reserve for continued Claude demand and diversifies Anthropic's reliance across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and Nvidia GPUs.
