Anthropic in Talks to Cement Control Over More Data Centers

Anthropic is in early discussions to lease up to 1 gigawatt of compute capacity from Stream Data Centers, a developer majority-owned by Apollo Global Management. This strategic move aims to reduce the AI company's reliance on cloud providers. The maker of Claude intends to act as a direct tenant at various U.S. sites, utilizing tensor processing units designed by Broadcom and Google to power its infrastructure, according to sources familiar with the ongoing negotiations.
