Anthropic just announced plans to put $50 billion toward bolstering computing infrastructure in the US. As part of the initiative, the company is working with the AI cloud platform Fluidstack to build datacenters in Texas and New York, “with more sites to come.”
The data centers will come online throughout 2026 and create 800 jobs, according to Anthropic. “It will help advance the goals in the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan to maintain American AI leadership and strengthen domestic technology infrastructure,” Anthropic says in the press release.
Anthropic says that the size of its investment “is necessary to meet the growing demand” for its AI chatbot Claude, while also allowing it to keep its research “at the frontier” of the technology.
