Anthropic secures $13.7 billion computing power deal with rum group, expanding its cloud partnerships

Anthropic, the developer of Claude, has signed a six-year, $13.7 billion computing power agreement with Rum Group, a company with historical ties to the Trump administration. This deal adds another politically connected supplier to Anthropic's growing list of cloud partners. The agreement is part of a broader trend of major cloud computing deals that Anthropic has made over the past year, including partnerships with Google, SpaceX, and Nscale. These agreements collectively provide at least 14.8 gigawatts of computing power, with potential investments reaching up to $517 billion over the next decade. The deal with Rum Group comes as demand for Anthropic's products, such as Claude Code and Cowork, continues to rise, further strengthening its computing infrastructure.
