Anthropic has announced a $50 billion investment in US computing infrastructure, partnering with Fluidstack to build data centres in Texas and New York, with additional sites planned. The facilities are designed specifically for Anthropic’s workloads to support continued AI research and development.
The project is expected to create around 800 permanent jobs and 2,400 construction jobs, with sites scheduled to come online through 2026. It aligns with the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, which aims to strengthen domestic AI leadership and technology infrastructure.
“We’re getting closer to AI that can accelerate scientific discovery and help solve complex problems in ways that weren’t possible before,” said Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic.
“Realising that potential requires infrastructure that can support continued development at the frontier. These sites will help us build more capable AI systems that can drive those breakthroughs, while creating American jobs.”
Anthropic said its investment is aimed at meeting growing demand for its AI assistant Claude, which now serves over 300,000 business customers. The company reported that the number of large accounts—those generating over $100,000 in annual revenue—has increased nearly sevenfold in the past year.
The company selected Fluidstack for its ability to rapidly deliver large-scale power infrastructure. “Fluidstack was built for this moment,” said Gary Wu, co-founder and CEO of Fluidstack. “We’re proud to partner with frontier AI leaders like Anthropic to accelerate and deploy the infrastructure necessary to realise their vision.”
Anthropic said the investment will enable it to scale efficiently while maintaining focus on safety, alignment, and interpretability research.
Meanwhile, AWS, which is an investor in Anthropic, recently announced a $38 billion partnership with OpenAI to run and scale OpenAI’s core AI workloads on AWS infrastructure.
The deal underscores the accelerating race among leading AI companies to secure compute capacity. OpenAI’s recent partnerships with NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom together represent more than 26 gigawatts of capacity and potential commitments exceeding $1 trillion in total infrastructure investments.
