ANTHROPIC plans to secure at least 1.4 million kW (1.4 GW) of data-centre
compute capacity in Australia, with total investment possibly reaching about
$15bn. A confidential tender cited by Australian media says ANTHROPIC aims to
have at least 1.0 million kW (1.0 GW) operational by the end of next year. The
baseline plan is to find long-term partners to co-develop a 1.4 GW data-centre
campus. A final investment decision is expected in about six weeks; the
program may be split into four-to-five smaller partnership contracts.
