Correction: We attached a source about Anthropic's separate gas-fired power agreement rather than the specific Nscale compute deal. It has been withdrawn as evidence for this claim. The original claim and its Reported status are unchanged.
These sources were attached in error and are not evidence for this claim.
Anthropic struck a $3.4 billion deal to generate gas-fired power for its data centers, per the Financial Times — another bespoke energy arrangement in the AI infrastructure buildout, following the lab's $800B-through-2045 compute pledge and its junk-rating financing complications.
