Anthropic plans to invest $50bn in building artificial intelligence infrastructure in the US over the coming years, as the start-up races to secure new computing power.
The Claude chatbot maker on Wednesday said it would develop new data centres in New York and Texas with UK-based cloud computing start-up Fluidstack. The sites will bolster Anthropic’s research and development as well as providing power for its existing AI tools.
“We’re getting closer to AI that can accelerate scientific discovery and help solve complex problems in ways that weren’t possible before. Realising that potential requires infrastructure that can support continued development at the frontier,” said Dario Amodei, chief executive and co-founder of Anthropic.
