Anthropic has reportedly signed a ten billion dollar agreement with Volta, an artificial intelligence cloud startup, to secure compute resources over a six-year term. The deal includes a data centre in Norway built with Bitdeer, a crypto-mining firm, and powered by Nvidia’s Vera Rubin chip architecture. This facility will deliver a capacity of 133 megawatts to support the development and deployment of the Claude model.
The transaction highlights Anthropic’s strategy to secure independent hardware access while avoiding reliance on a single public cloud provider. By partnering with Volta, the company gains direct control over its infrastructure pipeline during a period of intense competition with rivals like Google and Microsoft. This move also aligns with recent agreements with SpaceX and Amazon to diversify its supply chain.
- The facility is located in Norway.
- Bitdeer is developing the data centre.
- Capacity stands at 133 megawatts.
