TRX Anthropic reportedly commits $3.4B for 1.7 GW of gas-fired power for data centers
A Reddit r/stocks post reports that Anthropic committed $3.4B for roughly 1.7 GW of gas-fired generation for its data centers, sourcing generation equipment directly rather than relying on normal supply chains. The poster argues power, grid access, transformers and turbines may be becoming the scarce assets for AI expansion rather than GPUs. The post also notes a contradiction with the current AI selloff, where markets worry infrastructure spending has gone too far.
