Daily intelligence brief · decision-ready edition summary

Anthropic just made a $45 billion software decision that looks like a utility-scale infrastructure commitment.

The reported six-year Nscale agreement represents about 460 MW. The hidden asset is not only compute—it is the power, land, cooling and construction system required to make that capacity real.
