Anthropic and Nscale are reportedly negotiating a $45 billion computing power agreement, following a similar deal from August 2026.
This ongoing series of high-value infrastructure deals highlights the massive capital expenditure driving current AI development as both companies prepare for 2026 IPOs.
The situation underscores investor scrutiny regarding the balance between large-scale computational investments and tangible returns.
According to information cited by Bloomberg from October 19, 2026, negotiations are ongoing and details may change. Anthropic has made several large deals for computing power in the past 12 months as it tries to meet the needs of its systems.
Reflection on investments
This move comes at a time when some investors are expressing concerns about the very high cost of investing in artificial intelligence, in relation to the profits they generate.
At the same time, both companies are planning to go public. Anthropic is expected to go public in 2026. Nscale is also seeking to go public, but is facing pressure from investors over its proposed $30 billion valuation.
