Anthropic Reportedly Signs $13.7 Billion Compute Deal With RUM Group

Anthropic has reportedly signed a six-year, $13.7 billion compute agreement with RUM Group, tying Claude's capacity race to a newly rebuilt AI-infrastructure provider whose Maysville, Georgia data center is still under development. The deal would make Anthropic the previously unnamed U.S. cloud customer behind a contract RUM Group disclosed in August and comes as the AI lab has been locking up hundreds of billions of dollars of compute capacity for Claude.
