$IREN Anthropic: US AI needs 50GW of power by 2028, frontier models will require 5GW data centers.
As Amazon builds out huge clusters for the company.
Anthropic claims that the US will require "at least XX gigawatts of electric capacity for AI by 2028" to maintain its AI leadership.
In a whitepaper, the generative AI company said that training frontier models will require data centers with 5GW capacity by that deadline.
However, the company notes that "building this infrastructure faces years-long delays from overlapping federal, state, and local permits; regulatory approvals for transmission lines; and delays interconnecting projects to the grid."
The 50GW also appears to be on a slightly scaled-back timeline - just in March, Anthropic said that an "additional" 50GW was required by 2027.
"Experts disagree about the exact estimates," Anthropic said in its new whitepaper. "But if these numbers are approximately right, then meeting AI’s power needs over the next few years will be a significant challenge."
The Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that data centers (AI, non-AI, and crypto) will require 74-132GW in 2028.
