Lambda, a California-based AI cloud provider backed by Nvidia, will provide Anthropic access to computing capacity through a data center being developed by Hut 8. The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia will lease the facility from Hut 8, while Lambda will arrange access for Anthropic.

The agreement follows Anthropic’s recently confirmed six-year, $45 billion deal with London-based Nscale, which will provide computing capacity at a West Virginia facility. According to AFP, Anthropic has committed to at least $135 billion in computing agreements this year.

The spending highlights the intense competition between Anthropic and OpenAI for customers, revenue and computing resources. Rising demand for advanced AI chips is also putting pressure on global supply chains, affecting industries from technology to consumer electronics.
