Artificial intelligence company Anthropic, developer of the chatbot Claude, announced Wednesday that it will invest $50 billion in new computing infrastructure, including Data centers in Texas and New York, as it ramps up efforts to meet rising demand for its AI products.
According to The Associated Press, the company said it is partnering with London-based Fluidstack to build the facilities, which will power Claude and other AI systems.
While Anthropic did not disclose the precise locations or the source of electricity for the new centers, the move is part of a broader surge in U.S. data center activity driven by AI workloads.
A recent report from TD Cowen noted that leading cloud providers leased more than 7.4 gigawatts of U.S. data center capacity in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 — surpassing the total leased in all of last year.
During that period, Oracle secured the largest share of capacity, much of it supporting AI systems for OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, followed by Google and Fluidstack, with Meta, Amazon, CoreWeave, and Microsoft trailing behind.
