Anthropic has just announced plans to invest $50 billion in strengthening IT infrastructure in the United States. As part of the initiative, the company is working with AI cloud platform Fluidstack to build data centers in Texas and New York, “with more locations to come.”
The data centers will come online throughout 2026 and will create 800 jobs, according to Anthropic. “This will help advance the goals of the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan to maintain U.S. leadership in AI and strengthen the nation’s technology infrastructure,” Anthropic says in the press release.
Anthropic says the scale of its investment “is necessary to meet growing demand” for its AI chatbot Claude, while also allowing it to maintain its research “at the frontier” of the technology.
