AI lab Anthropic has reportedly signed more than a dozen letters of intent with multiple US data center developers.

As reported by The Information, citing people with direct knowledge of the plans, this is part of Anthropic's efforts to control its servers and AI infrastructure, thereby reducing long-term compute costs.

Details of the data center companies Anthropic is working with have not been provided, nor have the locations of the data center projects.

According to the publication, Anthropic is also seeing an arrangement with Google in which the cloud and search giant would provide a financial guarantee for its lease payments, akin to the arrangement Google has with AI cloud Fluidstack.
