In BriefAnthropic 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. Bloomberg originally reported that Volta, founded earlier this year, will provide cloud compute to the Claude maker over a six-year period. Volta has a partner in this deal, Bitdeer, a crypto-mining company that will help develop the data center to provide the compute capacity. 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. Anthropic has sought to aggressively expand its compute capacity over the last several months as it wages a corporate battle with its competitors.
