The Financial Times reported that the United Statesartificial intelligence (AI) Companyanthropic A $3.4 billion deal has been finalized to buy generators to power AI data centres.
The Financial Times quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Anthropic disclosedtexas Power generation equipment supplier OnePWR Solutions has secured purchase commitments for heavy-duty generators with a total power generation capacity of 1.7 gigawatts (GW, million kWh).
Anthropic did not acquire the company, and no employees from the supplier were transferred to Anthropic. The deal also includes the engineering and manufacturing capabilities required to install the generators.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. Anthropic and OnePWR have not yet responded to media requests for comment.
The current strong external demand for Anthropic’s cloud series of AI models has led the company to actively seek additional computing power and power generation capacity.
Reuters reported in September that Anthropic expected to invest more than $500 billion over the next 10 years to build out AI infrastructure.
