Anthropic strikes $3.4B generator deal to secure data center power: FT

What happened: Anthropic (ANT) agreed to spend $3.4 billion on gas-fired generators through Texas supplier OnePWR Solutions, the Financial Times reported. Why it matters: The FT called it the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab. Controlling power equipment could help Anthropic avoid delays but adds to financial commitments as it prepares for a possible listing, with Blackstone (BX) warning of a possible speculative-grade credit rating.
