- Nvidia is reportedly in talks to provide a >$5B construction guarantee on Nscale's 460 MW shell data center.
- The move aims to secure Anthropic's $45B Vera Rubin compute contract.
- If Nscale defaults on the loan, Nvidia takes physical title to the facility — effectively becoming Anthropic's direct landlord, a striking example of chipmakers financially underwriting the AI buildout.
