Anthropic and AI infrastructure provider Nscale are negotiating another $45 billion compute deal, TechCrunch reported on October 20, citing Bloomberg. The two announced a deal of the same size just over a month ago, and the talks concern an additional transaction. Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, said the companies are close to announcing a deal, but talks are ongoing and details may change. Both are pursuing IPOs: Anthropic still expects to list this year, while Nscale's proposed $30 billion valuation has met investor opposition.
