Anthropic, the company that makes the Claude AI models, signed a $35 billion cloud computing deal with Lambda, a provider backed by Nvidia. The Wall Street Journal reported the agreement, according to AI Weekly's edition of September 1, 2026.
The report said it followed earlier deals worth $45 billion with Nscale and $10 billion with Volta. As part of the arrangement, Nvidia leases a data center in Nueces County, Texas.
Why it mattered
AI companies were committing to computing capacity years ahead, at sums far larger than their revenue. A month later, Anthropic's IPO filing put its total commitments at $518 billion.
Deals like this are also why smaller data center firms carried so much debt going into the November selloff.
