Anthropic looks to secure more data centre capacity: Report
AI developer Anthropic is reportedly in early discussions to lease 1 gigawatt of data center capacity from Stream Data Centers. The company is seeking financial backing from Google to support these significant infrastructure expansion costs.
Why it matters
The massive energy and infrastructure requirements of AI companies are driving a surge in demand for large-scale data center capacity.
In a bid to secure greater data centre capacity, Anthropic is in early-stage discussions to lease up to 1 gigawatt from Stream Data Centers, according to a report from The Information outlet.
The developer is majority-owned by Apollo Global Management.
The outlet previously reported in June that Anthropic had signed over 12 preliminary agreements to this end, in order to lease U.S. data centres with a combined capacity of more than 1 GW.
The Claude-maker was also reportedly looking to obtain financial backing from Google, in order to cover the lease payments.
