Anthropic has secured its first data center lease in Australia, locking 2.16 gigawatts of capacity at a facility located 250km from Brisbane. Scheduled to operate in 2027, this move follows OpenAI into Oceania, highlighting the growing demand for Claude's computing power. The expansion aims to diversify geographical infrastructure for training and inference, leveraging local resources like electricity and land to support the AI giant's rapidly increasing computational needs.

SpaceX acquired AI coding tool Cursor for up to 6 billion dollars. Elon Musk acknowledged SpaceX AI lags behind competitors like Anthropic and urged rapid progress to seize key technologies before AI surpasses human control. Cursor will continue the Origin project and expand its team with increased recruitment budgets. Despite management claims of minimal operational impact, the integration caused significant upheaval, with several senior leaders and core Graphite team members departing. Equity vesting policies were adjusted, and Cursor executives joined SpaceX AI in key roles. The deal aims to secure computing power for Grok model development and AI agents, addressing Cursor's previous fundraising challenges due to negative gross margins.
