AI spending isn’t SLOWING DOWN. 🔥 The Claude maker struck a massive $3.4 BILLION deal to power its data centers, FT reports. Anthropic took over existing orders for 1.7 GW of gas-fired generators, bypassing traditional power providers as surging demand makes the equipment harder to get. The deal is the LARGEST known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab. Anthropic’s IPO filing shows nearly $900 BILLION in computing and infrastructure commitments through 2045. The IPO could come as early as the week of Nov. 16, though no date yet is confirmed. Anthropic’s IPO valuation could show how much Wall Street is willing to pay for AI growth, a key insight for the broader dwindling AI trade.
