Per Reuters, Anthropic has signed its first Australian data center deal: a planned campus near Brisbane with a staggering 2.16 GW capacity, set to rank among the world's largest computing facilities and begin coming online in 2027.
Author markk highlights the contrast: just last week Dario Amodei called on AI companies to slow capability advancement — yet Anthropic is racing to lock in gigawatts. The takeaway: nobody in the AI race is actually slowing down; everyone is securing every available gigawatt.
