Anthropic announced plans to expand its Colossus supercomputer cluster to Colossus2, incorporating NVIDIA's GB200 GPUs. The GB200, a Blackwell-based GPU, offers substantial performance improvements over previous generations, including higher memory bandwidth and enhanced AI training capabilities. This expansion is expected to dramatically increase Anthropic's compute resources, enabling the training of larger and more capable AI models. The move signals Anthropic's commitment to scaling its infrastructure to compete in the frontier AI race. While specific deployment timelines and capacity figures were not disclosed, the upgrade positions Anthropic to leverage cutting-edge hardware for its research and product development.
