Anthropic targets 10 GW of compute capacity by end-2027

Summary

Anthropic has informed investors of its intention to double its AI compute capacity to approximately 10 GW by the end of 2027, following a projected increase to around 5 GW by the end of 2026. This expansion is part of a broader strategy to meet the rising demand for model training and inference, and is on track with similar infrastructure goals set by competitors like OpenAI. To achieve this, Anthropic has secured substantial partnerships, including a $1.25 billion monthly lease with SpaceX and a deal with Google and Broadcom for about 3.5 GW of next-generation TPU capacity, expected to be operational starting in 2027.
