"In November, Anthropic announced a $50 billion deal with Fluidstack to build custom-designed data centers in Texas and New York, showcasing significant confidence in the startup."
"Fluidstack's infrastructure is specifically built for AI, setting it apart from hyperscalers like AWS that cater to a broader range of computing needs."

Fluidstack, a startup specializing in data centers for AI, is in discussions to raise $1 billion at an $18 billion valuation, potentially led by Jane Street. This follows a previous attempt to raise $700 million at a $7.5 billion valuation. The company gained attention after securing a $50 billion deal with Anthropic for custom data centers. Fluidstack's infrastructure is tailored for AI, distinguishing it from general providers like AWS. The startup has relocated its headquarters to New York to support its growth.
