Anthropic Expands AI Data Centers in Australia and Japan
Anthropic is accelerating its Asia‑Pacific AI infrastructure build-out as it hires compute and data‑center roles in Australia and Japan. The U.S. AI lab is recruiting 13 compute‑department positions — eight based in Australia or Japan (six in Australia, two in Japan) — and has previously announced multiple U.S. data‑center deals and a Europe compute‑sourcing role. Anthropic said rapid growth has strained its infrastructure after raising $65 billion in May at a $965 billion valuation and reaching a revenue run‑rate above $47 billion. The company cites careful selection of democratic partner countries and secure supply chains, while analysts and think‑tank experts point to Australia’s land and renewable energy potential and Japan’s stable grid and skilled workforce. Key constraints for APAC expansion include copyright risk in Australia and tightening grid/power availability across the region.

Anthropic framed the move as a strategic expansion of a key research and commercial hub and follows OpenAI’s announcement of a permanent London office. Recent product and financial updates cited in the announcement include Anthropic’s Claude Code coding agent, the Mythos AI model, a February raise of $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation, reported VC interest at an $800 billion valuation, and an annual run-rate revenue exceeding $30 billion with over 1,000 customers spending more than $1 million each.
Anthropic and Nscale strike $45B cloud deal
Anthropic has struck a roughly $45 billion, multi-year agreement with UK infrastructure provider Nscale to rent about 460 megawatts of AI compute at Nscale’s flagship West Virginia data center.
