Macquarie-managed funds and GIC will own Theseus Infrastructure and finance most of the equity required for individual projects.\n\nThe planned data centers are expected to involve substantial capital spending and create thousands of construction and permanent operational jobs. The facilities are intended to provide Anthropic with dedicated capacity as usage of its Claude AI systems continues to expand across businesses, developers and consumers.\n\nAnthropic will also cover increases in electricity costs that could otherwise be passed on to consumers as a result of the new facilities. The commitment is part of measures the AI company announced earlier this year as it expands its infrastructure footprint.\n\nThe partnership combines Anthropic’s rapidly growing compute requirements with Macquarie’s expertise in digital infrastructure development and financing and GIC’s global infrastructure investment capabilities.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Editorial Team.
