Episode Nvidia Becomes The AI Industrial Landlord

0:00 22:37

AI developer Anthropic has entered into a massive $35 billion agreement to secure cloud computing power from Lambda, a provider heavily supported by Nvidia. This arrangement centers on a new Texas data center being developed by Hut 8, where Nvidia acts as the primary tenant and hardware supplier. The deal is part of a larger $80 billion spending spree by Anthropic to lock down essential infrastructure and specialized chips amidst a global supply shortage.

Ultimately, these sources illustrate that the competition in artificial intelligence has shifted from software development to a high-stakes race for physical capacity and energy resources.
