mark_k · x · 2026-09-23
According to an unconfirmed scoop by markk, Anthropic is in early talks to lease up to 1 gigawatt of data center capacity directly from Apollo-backed Stream Data Centers, with the sites potentially filled with Google/Broadcom TPUs.
The move would give Anthropic more control over its compute and reduce dependence on cloud providers — a massive commitment. The author notes the irony: a company that keeps warning about the pace of AI development seems determined to secure the capacity to accelerate its own.
