Anthropic buys $3.4B of Caterpillar natural-gas turbines, securing up to 1.7 GW
Financial Times reports Anthropic has purchased $3.4 billion worth of Caterpillar natural-gas turbines (capacity up to 1.7 GW) after the original buyer, OnePWR, failed to complete financing. The move — notable because Anthropic has typically rented compute (its S‑1 says it pays xAI $1.25 billion per month) — appears aimed at locking in dedicated power amid turbine backlogs and long grid-connection waits.
