According to two people familiar with the matter, artificial intelligence giant Anthropic has signed its first data center lease agreement in Australia to lock in the capacity of the data center, which will become one of the world's largest computing facilities in the future, using a favorable political environment and abundant new energy resources. According to one of the people familiar with the matter, the total planned capacity of the data center park covered by the lease agreement reached 2.16 gigawatts, which is comparable to some of the largest operating data centers in the world at present. According to people familiar with the matter, the proposed facility is located on farmland about 250 km from Brisbane and is scheduled to be put into operation in 2027. Following OpenAI's power purchase agreement for the Sydney data center last year, the deal makes Anthropic the latest artificial intelligence giant to gain a foothold in Australia.
