Anthropic Rents Massive Data Center Space from Bitcoin Miner

Anthropic just signed a massive deal to rent data center space from Riot Platforms in Texas. The agreement covers a large facility that will provide the power needed to run complex AI projects.

This contract is worth over 9 billion dollars initially. If the company chooses to extend the deal, the total cost could eventually reach 16 billion dollars.

This move shows how hard AI companies are working to find enough energy and space for their hardware. Anthropic is growing quickly and currently relies on several major partners to keep its systems running.
