[Google Set to Finalize Agreement to Provide Over $5 Billion in Funding for Anthropic's Leased Texas Data Center] According to Golden Finance, Google is about to finalize an agreement to provide financial support for a major project in Texas by data center developer Nexus Data Centers. The project, valued at over $5 billion, will be leased to Anthropic upon completion. The construction loan is expected to be finalized soon. The project spans approximately 2,800 acres and is expected to deliver around 500 megawatts of capacity by the end of 2026 at the earliest, with significant expansion planned thereafter. The site is located near major natural gas pipelines, and Nexus plans to use its own gas turbines for direct power supply instead of relying on the public grid, aiming to avoid grid connection delays and reduce costs during peak electricity demand periods. Currently, Google provides Anthropic with its custom TPU chips via Google Cloud for large model training, and the two parties already have a deep cloud computing partnership. This infrastructure financing for the data center leased by Anthropic represents a further extension of this collaboration.
