  "summary": "NTT Data, a subsidiary of telecommunications giant NTT, is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to construct a data centre in Osaka, Japan, for US AI company Anthropic. According to the Nikkei business daily, the project could cost up to 1 trillion yen ($6.3 billion), making it the first dedicated facility in Japan for Anthropic. The data centre would have a power intake capacity of up to 500 megawatts, with partial operations expected to begin as early as 2028. NTT Data and Anthropic aim to sign an agreement by the end of fiscal 2026, which ends on March 31. NTT Data declined to comment, and NTT Group was not immediately available for comment.",
