Karim Mattar(@MattarARK):Anthropic and OpenAI are now hunting 20-30 MW deals on top of the GW campuses - UK, Nordics, US. The mechanism isn't "they ran out of ambition." It's that smaller allocations clear faster when the big builds slip, so inference and serving don't wait on a single campus COD. Falsifier: if the 20-30 MW hunt dries up once the next GW site unlocks, this was a stopgap. If it keeps expanding while Stargate/Nscale scale, the real market is a barbell of campus + edge MW.

Anthropic and OpenAI are now chasing 20 to 30 MW compute deals alongside gigawatt projects as “speed to usable capacity” becomes increasingly important. That puts already energized sites in a way stronger position as labs look to take whatever capacity can come online fastest.
