Anthropic is an artificial intelligence (AI) company from San Francisco, United States. The company has signed a $35 billion agreement with Lambda, a technology provider supported by Nvidia. This deal will give Anthropic the large computer power it needs to train and use its Claude AI models, using a new data centre in Texas.

Anthropic made this agreement because its AI products, including a coding tool called Claude Code, now require more processing power. AI models are becoming bigger and more complex, so companies like Anthropic need stronger computers and access to specialised technology. By making a deal with Lambda and using Nvidia’s powerful computer chips, Anthropic can continue to develop new AI tools without running out of needed resources.

Because of this contract, Anthropic secures long-term access to important computer facilities for its AI work. This helps the company keep growing and prevents delays caused by a shortage of computer power. The decision also shows how technology companies are competing to build the best tools for artificial intelligence.
