“we've worked very hard to make sure it's in the United States.”

Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO 8 August 2023 Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) - $10 Billion Models, OpenAI, Scaling, & AGI in 2 years (Dwarkesh Podcast)

Factual AI compute, hardware and data

Anthropic has worked to ensure the data center used for its models is located in the United States.

Own records only Only the person's or their organisation's own records speak to it, so it is not scored.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

Reasoning

Anthropic's internal efforts on data center location are not publicly documented.
