Hut 8 Fully Contracts 1 GW Texas AI Campus With Second Lease - 📅 - Hut 8 has signed a second 15-year lease for 352 megawatts of AI data center capacity at its Beacon Point campus in Texas, doubling one tenant's commitment and fully allocating the site's one-gigawatt utility supply.

Artificial intelligence initiatives, cloud-native application development, and elastic infrastructure [...]

Meta Considers Leasing Anthropic $10 Billion in AI Capacity - 📅 - Meta Platforms is discussing a computing agreement that could provide Anthropic with access to AI processing capacity worth as much as $10 billion over two years, according to a New York Times report.
