Report first recorded Oct 31, 09:53
Nvidia is in talks to guarantee billions in debt financing for Nscale's planned AI data center in West Virginia, potentially stepping in to take over the facility and find a new tenant if Nscale defaults on construction payments. The deal would help Nscale secure funding for electricity and construction costs, with Anthropic having signed a $44.6 billion contract for the first building. Nvidia's involvement underscores the AI industry's struggle to maintain buildout plans as investors grow wary of the massive capital involved.
