Anthropic secures $3.4 billion generator deal for AI data centres: Report
Anthropic bought commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty generators in late September from OnePWR Solutions
Anthropic, an AI startup, has secured a $3.4 billion deal to acquire 1.7 gigawatts of gas-fired power generators for its data centres, according to a report by the Financial Times. The agreement was struck with OnePWR Solutions, a Texas-based equipment supplier, in late September. Despite the substantial investment, OnePWR remained a separate entity, with no employee transfers to Anthropic.
The deal encompassed essential engineering and construction capabilities necessary for the installation of these generators. The significant demand for Anthropic's Claude AI models has compelled the company to bolster its computing and power infrastructure. Reuters was unable to independently confirm the report, and both Anthropic and OnePWR declined to comment.
Earlier this year, Reuters had revealed that Anthropic anticipated spending over $500 billion over the next decade on AI infrastructure.
