Google moves to fund multi-billion Texas AI hub leased to Anthropic, adding ~500MW capacity amid surging demand for next-gen model training infrastructure

Google is reportedly moving to help finance a multibillion-dollar AI data center campus in Texas that Anthropic will lease, according to reporting attributed to the Financial Times and summarized by multiple outlets. The project’s first phase is said to exceed $5 billion, with construction already underway and a target of roughly 500 megawatts of capacity by late 2026; longer-term plans reportedly envision far larger expansion. The financing is also described as intended to lower borrowing costs by leveraging Google’s stronger credit profile.
