Anthropic has struck a massive deal for gas-fired engines for data centres, as AI labs muscle deeper into the energy industry and cut out intermediaries in the race for scarce power equipment.
Anthropic达成了一笔购买数据中心燃气发电设备的巨额交易。目前各家人工智能(AI)公司更深入地进军能源行业，在争夺稀缺电力设备的竞赛中绕过中间商。
The frontier AI lab bought commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty generators for $3.4bn in late September from OnePWR Solutions, a San Antonio, Texas-based equipment supplier.
9月下旬，这家前沿AI公司与总部位于得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥(San Antonio)的设备供应商OnePWR Solutions达成协议，斥资34亿美元，锁定1.7吉瓦重型发电机组的供应。
Anthropic did not acquire OnePWR itself, but the deal included engineering and construction capabilities needed to install the generators. None of OnePWR’s employees transferred to Anthropic, according to a person familiar with the matter. OnePWR and Anthropic declined to comment.
Anthropic并未收购OnePWR公司本身，但上述交易涵盖安装这些发电机组所需的工程与施工能力。知情人士称，没有任何OnePWR员工转移到Anthropic。OnePWR和Anthropic均拒绝置评。
