Anthropic on Wednesday said it had signed an ambitious new data center partnership with U.K.-based neocloud provider Fluidstack<\/a>, committing $50 billion to building facilities across the U.S. to meet its growing compute needs.<\/p>\n

The data centers will be located in Texas and New York, and come online throughout 2026. The company described<\/a> the sites as \u201ccustom built for Anthropic with a focus on maximizing efficiency for our workloads.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting closer to AI that can accelerate scientific discovery and help solve complex problems in ways that weren\u2019t possible before,\u201d Anthropic\u2019s CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei (pictured above) said in a statement. \u201cRealizing that potential requires infrastructure that can support continued development at the frontier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of the intense compute demands of Anthropic\u2019s Claude family of models, the company is already engaged in significant cloud partnerships with both Google<\/a> and Amazon<\/a> (which is also an investor). But this is the company\u2019s first major effort to build custom infrastructure. The $50 billion outlay, while large, is in line with the company\u2019s internal revenue projections, which reportedly see Anthropic reaching $70 billion in revenue and $17 billion in positive cash flow by 2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While $50 billion represents a massive commitment in both cash and compute power, it is nonetheless dwarfed by similar projects from Anthropic\u2019s competitors. Meta has committed to building $600 billion worth of data centers over the next three years, while the Stargate partnership between SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle has already planned $500 billion in infrastructure spending. The spending has fueled concerns about an AI bubble due to flagging demand or even misallocated spending<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project marks a major success for Fluidstack, a relatively young neocloud company that has become a vendor of choice in the AI building boom. Founded in 2017, the company was named in February as the primary partner for a 1 gigawatt AI project backed by the French government, which represented more than $11 billion in spending. According to Forbes<\/a>, the company already has partnerships in place with Meta, Black Forest Labs, and France\u2019s Mistral.<\/p>\n

Fluidstack was also one of the first third-party vendors to receive Google\u2019s custom-built TPUs<\/a>, a major vote of confidence for the company.<\/p>\n
