Signal notes

Built by AWS for Anthropic (Claude) as sole customer. Construction started Sept 2024; ~500k Trainium2 chips live October 2025, fully operational under a year after announcement. 7 of ~30 planned buildings operational, each exceeds 200,000 sqft. capacity_mw 2.2 GW described as ultimate power draw. CNBC (2025-10-29) independently confirms the $11bn opening and characterises it as the largest capital commitment in Indiana's history; corroborates the operational status resolved from datacenter.news and Amazon. New 2026-07-06 signals agree with all previously-resolved values (buildings, capacity, investment, land, status); confidence held at high given multiple independent sources (CNBC, datacenter.news, Amazon, Data Center Dynamics) agreeing on the load-bearing facts.
