Anthropic has reportedly signed a $35 billion cloud deal with Lambda, the Nvidia-backed AI startup.
Under the arrangement, Nvidia ($NVDA) will supply the chips and hold the lease on the data center that Hut 8 ($HUT) is developing for Lambda.
The deal highlights how frontier labs are locking in compute through creative leasing structures that bypass the traditional hyperscalers.
