Anthropic signed a $35 billion cloud-computing deal with Lambda, a cloud provider backed by Nvidia $NVDA, for a Texas data center being developed by Hut 8 in Nueces County, according to Reuters.

Nvidia will hold the lease on the data center, according to the Journal. The chip company reached its own agreement with Hut 8 some weeks prior to lock in that capacity. Lambda will install Nvidia chips at the Hut 8 facility, with the arrangement designed to expand the pool of Nvidia computing resources available to power Anthropic's Claude AI products.
