Reports said **Anthropic** was finalizing a roughly **$20B funding round** that would value the company at about **$350B**, with **Microsoft and NVIDIA** cited as major sources of capital alongside a broader syndicate of large investors. The coverage framed Microsoft’s participation as a strategic hedge given its longstanding alignment with **OpenAI**, and tied the valuation narrative to Anthropic’s recent product momentum (notably *coding agents* and specialized domain models) amid escalating compute costs. Separately, analysis of Big Tech financial guidance and filings described a sharp step-up in **AI infrastructure CapEx** for 2026, led by **Amazon** disclosing **$200B** in planned capital expenditures and warning via an SEC filing that it may need to raise equity and debt to fund build-out. The same piece cited **Alphabet ($175–$185B)**, **Meta ($115–$135B)**, and **Microsoft (~$145B run rate)**, putting the “Big Four” at roughly **$635–$665B** and arguing the industry is restructuring internet-scale infrastructure around AI workloads, with capital intensity reaching historically high levels (e.g., Oracle and Microsoft cited as elevated vs. revenue).

A growing **data center capacity crunch** is putting enterprise AI, cloud migration, and broader digital transformation roadmaps at risk as power-grid limitations, permitting, and construction constraints slow new builds. Reporting citing a Sightline Climate analysis says 2025 saw nearly **6 GW** of capacity deployed, but **26% of projects were delayed**; for 2026, roughly **16 GW** is slated to come online, yet only about **5 GW** is reportedly under construction so far, with projections that **30%–50%** of planned projects could slip due to power availability and related bottlenecks. Separately, OpenAI’s planned *Stargate* AI data center expansion with **Oracle** and **SoftBank** has reportedly been delayed by governance and control disputes among partners, complicating efforts to rapidly secure large-scale compute. The reporting indicates OpenAI initially sought to own the data centers outright to reduce long-term dependence on third-party cloud providers, but investor concerns about upfront capital requirements and projections that OpenAI could run out of cash by mid-2027 pushed it back into negotiations; the delays reportedly affect plans to secure up to **10 GW** of compute capacity over three years, alongside previously reported commitments including Oracle’s proposed facility targeting **~2 million chips** and OpenAI’s stated intent to purchase **$300B** in compute over five years.

President Trump used the State of the Union to propose a “**ratepayer protection pledge**” aimed at curbing electricity price increases attributed to hyperscale AI data center growth, arguing the grid cannot sustain rapidly rising demand. The plan would require large technology companies to **build, bring, or buy dedicated power supplies** (including building their own power plants) for new AI data centers so that local ratepayers are less exposed to AI-driven load growth and associated cost increases. In parallel, industry investment in AI infrastructure continues to accelerate: **AMD and Meta** announced a reported **$100B** multi-year partnership for up to **6 gigawatts** of AI compute capacity using AMD’s *Instinct* GPU platforms (including MI450-based systems), *EPYC* CPUs, and *ROCm*, underscoring the scale of new deployments that intensify power and cooling requirements. Separately, commentary on AI’s societal impact highlighted how AI adoption is reshaping institutions (e.g., courts, academia, open source ecosystems) and amplifying “arms race” dynamics, but it did not address the specific US power-policy proposal or the AMD–Meta infrastructure deal.
