Nvidia is in discussions to provide credit guarantees for an Nscale data center facility that Anthropic plans to use, Bloomberg reported late Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

UK-based Nscale is racing to get a series of large data centers online, including this flagship site in West Virginia. It is also pursuing an initial public offering, with some investors pushing back on its $30 billion IPO target.

Nvidia’s credit support, as an investor in Nscale and its GPU supplier, would help backstop the electricity and construction costs for an AI data center campus in West Virginia, according to the Bloomberg report.
