Anthropic has expanded its computational infrastructure by securing a massive six-year, $10 billion cloud partnership with the newly established AI cloud startup Volta. The agreement aims to supply the necessary processing power to support the ongoing development of the company’s Claude AI models.
To fulfill the infrastructure requirements, Volta is teaming up with crypto-mining firm Bitdeer to build a 133-megawatt data center facility in Norway. The site will rely on Nvidia’s cutting-edge Vera Rubin chip architecture, aligning with Volta’s participation in Nvidia’s official Cloud Partner program.
This strategic move underscores Anthropic’s aggressive efforts to scale up its compute capacity amid fierce competition in the artificial intelligence sector, following recent infrastructure agreements established with major industry players.
