The potential deal value was not disclosed, and the discussions could fall apart, the report said.

In September, Anthropic directly acquired Caterpillar equipment orders worth 3.4 billion USD, securing 1.7 GW of gas generator units, marking the largest single purchase of power generation equipment in AI history. This move bypassed utility middlemen, capturing scarce capacity at prices set years ago with near-term delivery. It is part of Anthropic's plan to invest over 895 billion USD in computing infrastructure by 2045.
