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.
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.
