NTT Data is in “final talks” to build what would be Anthropic’s first data centre in Japan, Nikkei Asia reports. The outlet frames the project as part of Anthropic’s expansion and NTT Data’s role in supporting the infrastructure needs of the AI company.

CNA and Nikkei both point to the same core development: negotiations involving NTT Data and Anthropic focused on establishing the first Anthropic data centre on Japanese soil. The reports do not provide additional details in the provided material on pricing, timelines, or the size and specifications of the facility.

The differing outlet emphasis is limited in the supplied excerpts. CNA highlights that talks are in their final stage, while Nikkei Asia focuses on NTT’s plan to build the data centre for Anthropic. Neither report, as shared here, includes confirmed announcements beyond the status of ongoing negotiations.
