Anthropic, GIC and Macquarie form venture to build AI data centres
Macquarie and GIC pledged to fund a bulk of the equity for each project.
Anthropic, a leader in artificial intelligence, has joined forces with Macquarie Asset Management and Singapore's GIC to establish a new venture called Theseus Infrastructure. The aim of this strategic partnership is to develop AI computing data centres, with an initial focus on the United States.
Macquarie and GIC have committed to provide the bulk of the equity for each project, while Anthropic will cover any potential increases in consumer electricity prices resulting from the facilities' operations.
The companies have not disclosed specific details about the planned spending or the scale of the projects. However, it is worth noting that major tech companies are increasingly investing in data centres and advanced chips, driven by the promise of substantial economic benefits that AI services will bring.
Anthropic's involvement in AI infrastructure is relatively less prominent compared to its rival, OpenAI, which recently launched a joint venture named Stargate. In 2025, Anthropic announced it would invest $50 billion (S$64 billion) in custom data centres across multiple US locations, such as Texas and New York.
In recent years, GIC has played a significant role in Anthropic's funding. In 2025, it participated in a $13 billion funding round for the company. Earlier that year, GIC led a $30 billion funding round and co-led a $65 billion funding round for Anthropic.
