Nvidia appears at three points in the deal without being formally party to it: it has invested in Lambda, contracted separately with Hut 8 for the site, and supplies the GPUs deployed there. This follows a pattern of massive multi-supplier compute commitments from Anthropic, including $45bn with Nscale, over $100bn with AWS, $9.1bn with Riot Platforms, $10bn with Volta, and early talks with Meta. The strategy diversifies suppliers but most still rely on the same Nvidia hardware and financing structures, while bitcoin miners keep surfacing as partners because they hold scarce grid connections and power contracts. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How much has Anthropic committed to Lambda for cloud compute capacity? Anthropic has reportedly committed $35bn to Lambda, an Nvidia-backed cloud provider, for compute capacity in a Texas data centre in Nueces County built by former bitcoin miner Hut 8. The deal was reported by the Wall Street Journal and confirmed by Reuters via an unnamed source; neither company has officially announced it, and no contract term was disclosed. _Track how compute deals like this reshape AI infrastructure access on daily.dev._ ### What other large compute deals has Anthropic signed besides the Lambda agreement? Anthropic has signed a $45bn six-year deal with Nscale for West Virginia capacity, over $100bn with AWS over a decade for five gigawatts and Trainium3 chip access, $9.1bn over 20 years with Riot Platforms, $10bn with a week-old cloud startup called Volta, and has held early talks to lease $10bn of compute from Meta. _Compare AI compute deals across providers to understand infrastructure trends via daily.dev._ ### Why do bitcoin mining companies keep appearing in AI data centre deals? Bitcoin miners like Riot Platforms and Hut 8 already hold grid connections, land, and power contracts assembled over years, which have become scarcer and harder to acquire than the chips themselves. This makes former crypto mining infrastructure attractive for conversion into AI data centres, a shift that has accelerated over the past two years, often in Texas due to cheap land and faster permitting. _Follow how AI infrastructure sourcing decisions play out for developers relying on this compute via daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#ai-infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-infrastructure) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-has-signed-a-35bn-cloud-deal-with-nvidia-backed-lambda-uhr1m3zeu) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Anthropic has signed a $35bn cloud deal with Nvidia-backed Lambda","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-has-signed-a-35bn-cloud-deal-with-nvidia-backed-lambda-uhr1m3zeu","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-has-signed-a-35bn-cloud-deal-with-nvidia-backed-lambda-uhr1m3zeu"},"datePublished":"2026-09-01T07:40:48.291Z","dateModified":"2026-09-01T21:36:47.518Z","description":"Anthropic has committed $35bn to Nvidia-backed cloud provider Lambda for compute capacity in a Texas data centre built by former bitcoin miner Hut 8, according...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/997a6fafbbbe1e5fd54e847c3e6d12d2?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/997a6fafbbbe1e5fd54e847c3e6d12d2?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-has-signed-a-35bn-cloud-deal-with-nvidia-backed-lambda-uhr1m3zeu","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"cloud,nvidia,anthropic,ai-infrastructure","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Anthropic has signed a $35bn cloud deal with Nvidia-backed Lambda"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-has-signed-a-35bn-cloud-deal-with-nvidia-backed-lambda-uhr1m3zeu#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much has Anthropic committed to Lambda for cloud compute capacity?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Anthropic has reportedly committed $35bn to Lambda, an Nvidia-backed cloud provider, for compute capacity in a Texas data centre in Nueces County built by former bitcoin miner Hut 8.
