At a glance

  1. Anthropic has added a second Monarch building, making it a multi-facility customer, the filing shows.
  2. For infrastructure capital allocators sizing the listing, valuation will be driven by the take-or-pay backlog from AI tenants, not the current compute fleet.
  3. Nscale has doubled active GPUs to 50,000, so most of the disclosed value sits in contracted future commitments rather than current deployments.

Nscale's Nov. 13 IPO prospectus discloses $105.8 billion of contracted take-or-pay AI compute value against $6.4 billion of active value, ahead of the AI compute provider's public debut.
