Anthropic rents $13.7 billion of compute from Rum Group, the former Rumble, which is tied to Trump's circle

Compute has become so scarce that labs take it from anyone, even from a video platform that hasn't finished building its data center.
The six-year contract covers capacity in a data center under construction in Maysville, Georgia, with a 120 MW connection and the possibility of expanding to 180 MW. Rum Group is the renamed video platform Rumble, which bought the German operator Northern Data in June; it does not yet have financing for the build. Anthropic received an option to buy up to 51 million Rum Group shares at one cent each.
