Anthropic: $45B Cloud Deal with NScale & Historic IPO in Sight

Anthropic is reportedly in talks with NScale for a $45 billion cloud computing deal, while the FT is hosting a reader Q&A on what could be the biggest IPO in stock market history.

What we know

An account on X broke that NScale and Anthropic are in talks for a $45B cloud computing deal — though the tweet sarcastically notes the UK may not have electricity to power the data center until 2040. Separately, the Financial Times opened a reader Q&A on what Anthropic's planned IPO 'could be the biggest stock market debut in history' means for investors, AI, and the tech industry. A related IFP report on US-China AI competition released this week examines how Chinese access to compute and distillation of US models shapes the current capabilities gap.
