Compute for SI is being booked years ahead in sums the size of a country's budget: companies are confident that demand for machine intelligence is only beginning.

Cloud provider Nscale, which is backed by Nvidia, showed prospective investors about $103 billion in contracted revenue ahead of a possible IPO as early as September. The largest piece is $45 billion from Anthropic for renting compute on Nvidia Vera Rubin chips at a campus in West Virginia. With an average contract length of 5.7 years, that is about $18 billion a year; the source cautions that the figures are "illustrative" and not an official forecast.
