[Bitcoin Mining Firm IREN Reportedly Reaches Multi-Year AI Cloud Computing Partnership with Anthropic] According to The Block, IREN, a company transitioning from a Bitcoin mining firm to an AI infrastructure provider, has reached a multi-year AI cloud computing partnership with Anthropic. The report states that this agreement was made as IREN continues to shift its infrastructure toward AI computing operations. However, it remains unclear whether this partnership is the same as the one disclosed by IREN in August this year with an unnamed cutting-edge AI lab. IREN previously focused primarily on Bitcoin mining but has in recent years begun leveraging its data centers and computing power resources to expand into the AI cloud computing market.
