- NTT Data Group is in the final stages of talks to build a data center in western Japan for U.S. AI company Anthropic
- The Osaka facility would have capacity of up to 500 MW and could cost roughly $6.3 billion, placing it among Japan's largest data centers
Why it matters: A 500 MW facility would make this one of Japan's largest data centers, signaling that Anthropic — currently competing head-to-head with OpenAI — is securing dedicated compute capacity abroad rather than staying concentrated in U.S. data hubs. The $6.3 billion Osaka buildout would also mark NTT Data Group's biggest known infrastructure commitment tied to a single foreign AI lab.
