According to CNBC, sources reveal that as competition intensifies over securing the infrastructure needed to deploy AI workloads, Anthropic and OpenAI are actively pursuing smaller‑scale AI data center partnerships. Over the past year, both AI labs have signed multi‑billion‑dollar deals for AI data centers with capacities ranging from hundreds of megawatts to even gigawatts. However, insiders say the companies are now also seeking agreements for much more modest deployments—on the order of 20 to 30 megawatts. Four informed sources disclosed that Anthropic has already engaged in discussions in the U.K. and Northern Europe for projects within this capacity range; two of those sources added that OpenAI has previously been exploring similar small‑scale deployment opportunities in the Nordics. One source further noted that Anthropic and OpenAI have also held talks about deploying such capacities in the United States.
