Anthropic has agreed to spend $3.4 billion to purchase gas generators for the data center. This is the largest single purchase of power generation equipment for known AI laboratories. Anthropic took over orders for heavy generators totaling 1.7 gigawatts from San Antonio-based equipment supplier OnePWR Solutions at the end of September, but did not buy the company. Anthropic initially planned to buy electricity from OnePWR, then took over OnePWR's Caterpillar generator order instead. This purchase is the latest sign that the AI lab is further reaching out to the energy industry and circumventing middlemen as it competes for the tight supply of power equipment.
