"Artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced a $50 billion investment in computing infrastructure on Wednesday that will include new data centers in Texas and New York. Microsoft also on Wednesday announced a new data center under construction in Atlanta, Georgia, describing it as connected to another in Wisconsin to form a "massive supercomputer" running on hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips to power AI technology."
"A report last month from TD Cowen said that the leading cloud computing providers leased a "staggering" amount of U.S. data center capacity in the third fiscal quarter of this year, amounting to more than 7.4 gigawatts of energy, more than all of last year combined. Oracle was securing the most capacity during that time, much of it supporting AI workloads for Anthropic's chief rival OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT."
"Anthropic, maker of the chatbot Claude, said it is working with London-based Fluidstack to build the new computing facilities to power its AI systems. It didn't disclose their exact locations or what source of electricity they will need. Another company, cryptocurrency mining data center developer TeraWulf, has previously revealed it was working with Fluidstack on Google-backed data center projects in Texas and New York, on the shore of Lake Ontario."

Cloud providers leased more than 7.4 gigawatts of U.S. data center capacity in the third fiscal quarter, driven by AI demand. Anthropic said the projects will create about 800 permanent and 2,400 construction jobs.
