Anthropic signs $10B deal with AI cloud startup Volta

Anthropic 与 AI 云初创公司 Volta 签署 100 亿美元协议

Anthropic has been on a cloud partnership spree in recent months, and its latest move is reportedly a $10 billion deal with AI cloud startup Volta. 近几个月来，Anthropic 一直在积极寻求云合作伙伴关系，据报道，其最新举措是与 AI 云初创公司 Volta 签署了一项价值 100 亿美元的协议。

Bloomberg originally reported that Volta, founded earlier this year, will provide cloud compute to the Claude maker over a six-year period. 彭博社最初报道称，成立于今年早些时候的 Volta 将在六年内为这家 Claude 的开发商提供云算力。

Volta has a partner in this deal, Bitdeer, a crypto-mining company that will help develop the data center to provide the compute capacity. That facility will be located in Norway and will deliver a 133 megawatt capacity. It will be fueled by Nvidia’s Vera Rubin systems, the chipmaker’s state-of-the-art AI chip architecture. Volta 在这笔交易中拥有一个合作伙伴——加密货币挖矿公司 Bitdeer，该公司将协助开发数据中心以提供算力。该设施将位于挪威，预计提供 133 兆瓦的容量。它将由英伟达（Nvidia）的 Vera Rubin 系统驱动，这是该芯片制造商最先进的 AI 芯片架构。

Volta is part of Nvidia’s Cloud Partner program, which is a consortium of AI cloud providers that use Nvidia’s GPUs in their data centers. Volta had spoken about a deal with an AI lab but hadn’t named the specific company it was working with. Bloomberg originally cited anonymous sources familiar with the deal. TechCrunch reached out to Anthropic for more information.

Anthropic has sought to aggressively expand its compute capacity over the last several months as it wages a corporate battle with its competitors. The company also recently announced new compute deals with the likes of SpaceX and Amazon. 在与竞争对手展开企业竞争的同时，Anthropic 在过去几个月里一直寻求积极扩大其算力。该公司最近还宣布了与 SpaceX 和亚马逊等公司达成新的算力协议。
