Anthropic unveils $50 billion plan for U.S. AI‑infrastructure build‑out
Anthropic announced a $50 billion investment in U.
AI company Anthropic announced a major infrastructure investment of $50 billion to build large‐scale data centres in Texas and New York, aimed at supporting its next‑generation ‘Claude’ models. The project will create roughly 800 permanent jobs and 2,400 construction jobs, and reflects the heavy demand for AI compute capacity. Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, the firm emphasised a capital‑efficient approach. Industry observers caution this kind of spending may signal the peak of the current AI investment cycle given mounting concerns over returns on compute.
Nonetheless, the deal underlines the strategic arms‑race in generative‑AI infrastructure.
