The new entity, called Theseus Infrastructure, will serve as a vehicle to develop artificial intelligence computing sites "with an initial focus" in the US, the companies said on Monday. Macquarie and GIC pledged to fund a bulk of the equity for each project, while Anthropic committed to covering any consumer electricity price hikes from the facilities.

The companies didn't share any details on planned spending or the size of the projects.

In 2025, Anthropic, which is prepping for a closely watched public listing, said it would spend $50 billion on custom data centers in several US locations, including Texas and New York. The company recently obtained a $35 billion loan to lease computer chips at five data centers, thanks to a backstop from Google.
