Anthropic signs a deal to build a $32 billion “mega” data centre in Queensland, according to multiple Australian outlets. The project is described as the company’s first signed arrangement in Australia.
The reports link the announcement to Anthropic’s broader push to expand its presence in the region’s AI and cloud infrastructure market. They also note that the company behind Claude is seeking a major public listing, with media coverage citing a hoped-for valuation of about $2.8 trillion.
While the outlets largely align on the deal’s size and location, they place emphasis on different aspects of the wider picture: the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age focus on the significance of being Anthropic’s first Australian deal, and the Brisbane Times frames the announcement in terms of the company’s expansion plans and expected market value ahead of a potential listing. No additional site details or timelines are provided in the shared summaries.
