The planned site near Brisbane will provide the infrastructure necessary for Anthropic to expand its AI services into the Australian market starting in 2027. This 2.16 GW campus will primarily support AI inference, which enables the company to run models for end users rather than focusing on the compute-heavy process of model training.

Located approximately 150 miles from the city, the facility features closed loop cooling and utilizes renewable energy. This lease marks the company's first physical data center footprint in the country as it builds out global capacity to meet increasing demand for inference at scale.
