Anthropic has signed a six-year computing agreement worth $13.7 billion with Rum Group, according to The Information, which cited people familiar with the matter. Rum Group is described as a company with roots in social media and long-standing ties to the Trump administration. Founded in 2013, Rum gained attention among conservatives after the 2020 U.S. presidential election as a YouTube alternative for smaller content creators. The company also hosts Donald Trump’s Truth Social and streams official White House broadcasts.
The report said the deal is the latest in a string of cloud-computing agreements Anthropic has reached over the past year. Its partners have included major cloud providers such as Google, technology companies including SpaceX, and smaller emerging cloud firms such as Nscale. Demand for Anthropic’s Claude Code and Cowork products was cited as the driver behind the recent wave of capacity deals. According to the report, those agreements together account for at least 14,800 megawatts of compute capacity, with costs that could reach as much as $517 billion over the next decade. The Rum agreement is set to add to that total.
