Just over a year after construction began, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has opened its giant data center near Lake Michigan in Indiana.
The data center, which is part of AWS Project Rainier, covers 1,200 acres, or 4.86 square kilometers. This makes it one of the largest data centers in the world, CNBC reports.
The construction cost amounted to 11 billion dollars, which is currently equivalent to 103 billion Swedish kronor.
Inside the facility is a computer cluster consisting of half a million Trainium 2 chips, but the idea is to double the number of chips by the end of the year.
The data center will be used to train and run Claude, the popular AI model from AWS partner Anthropic.
