"Anthropic just announced plans to put $50 billion toward bolstering computing infrastructure in the US. As part of the initiative, the company is working with the AI cloud platform Fluidstack to build datacenters in Texas and New York, "with more sites to come." The data centers will come online throughout 2026 and create 800 jobs, according to Anthropic. "It will help advance the goals in the Trump administration's AI Action Plan to maintain American AI leadership and strengthen domestic technology infrastructure," Anthropic says in the press release."
"Anthropic isn't the only AI company pouring billions into building out data centers, as OpenAI and SoftBank announced the $500 billion "Stargate Project" in January, which will light up a series of AI data centers around the US, starting with Texas. Meta has also committed $600 billion to invest in US infrastructure and data centers. Anthropic says that the size of its investment "is necessary to meet the growing demand" for its AI chatbot Claude, while also allowing it to keep its research "at the frontier" of the technology."
