Sources familiar with the matter say Nexus Data Centers is in advanced talks for a $15 billion loan to build a large AI infrastructure campus in Texas for Anthropic. Morgan Stanley is the lead bank for the financing, while Google will provide support for Anthropic with its investment-grade credit.

The project will be located in Hubbard, Texas.

The funds are intended for the development of a data center campus in Hubbard, Texas. The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, stated that discussions are still confidential, and therefore details of the deal have not yet been released.

If the financing is secured, this will be another large-scale infrastructure arrangement to expand Anthropic's computing power, reflecting that large AI model companies are continuously securing power, data center, and chip-related resources.

Anthropic accelerates the expansion of computing power

Anthropic has continued to sign agreements with multiple infrastructure partners this year to enhance its computing capabilities. Earlier this month, the company reached an agreement with AMD, in May it partnered with SpaceX (owned by Elon Musk), and in April it also reached agreements with Google and Broadcom.

These actions demonstrate that leading AI companies are accelerating the construction of the underlying infrastructure needed for training and inference through multi-party collaborations, rather than relying solely on a single cloud service provider.

Google continues to increase its support

In April of this year, Google also agreed to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, continuing their long-standing partnership. In 2023, Google initially invested $300 million in the AI company, acquiring approximately a 10% stake, and then added another $2 billion a few months later.

As of now, both Anthropic and Nexus Data Centers have declined to comment. Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Morgan Stanley also declined to comment.

  • The financing amount is reportedly $15 billion.
  • The project is located in Hubbard, Texas.
  • Google will provide investment-grade credit support.

Eurozone industrial production fell 0.1% month-on-month in July: Total volume nearly stagnant, while durable goods show a clear weakening
Eurostat released its first estimate on September 16: In July 2026, quarter-on-quarter industrial production in the eurozone declined by 0.1%, and in the EU by 0.3%. Both regions saw a decrease of 0.1% in June. Compared to a year ago, industrial production in the eurozone remained unchanged, while in the EU it grew by 0.3%. The overall change is minimal, appearing almost like a flat line, but there are clear differences among industries: production of energy, capital goods, and intermediate goods increased quarter-on-quarter, whereas the production of durable consumer goods saw a significant decline. European industry has not experienced a widespread downturn, nor has there been a strong expansion.

UK inflation rose to 3.1% in August: Oil prices drive up overall inflation, while core indicators have not accelerated accordingly for now
The Office for National Statistics of the UK announced on September 16 that in August 2026, the Consumer Price Index CPI rose by 3.1% year-on-year, higher than 2.9% in July; the index including the cost of own housing CPIH rose by 3.3% year-on-year, also higher than the previous month's 3.1%. Both indices increased by 0.5% month-on-month, compared to a month-on-month increase of 0.3% in August 2025. The main factor driving annual inflation upwards was transportation, particularly car fuel costs. At the same time, the core CPI remained at 2.6% year-on-year, and the core CPIH also stayed at 2.9%; there was no acceleration in the rise in service prices either. The overall index has rebounded significantly, but the pressure is mainly concentrated on goods and energy.

Google Survey: Scientists Save Nearly 7 Hours per Week Due to AI; After Efficiency Increases, Experiments Become a New Bottleneck
On September 15th, Google updated AI and Economy ATLAS, and announced a study in collaboration with Google DeepMind and MIT FutureTech. The study analyzed 2,600 professional AI models and surveyed over 600 scientists from the United States and the United Kingdom. The results showed that nearly half of the surveyed scientists used some form of AI daily, and they reported saving nearly 7 hours per week as a result. However, the study also found that with the rapid generation of more hypotheses, there was a backlog in physical experiments, clinical validation, and result verification. This conclusion is more comprehensive than the claim that "AI speeds up scientific research": while models can streamline some mental processes, they cannot automate...

OpenAI Testing "Sponsored Agents": Ads No Longer Just Wait for Clicks, but Require Answers in Conversations
On September 16th, OpenAI announced a new round of product updates for ChatGPT Ads, among which Sponsored Agents has drawn the most attention. After seeing the ads, users can proactively enter an agent dialogue sponsored by merchants and clearly labeled with relevant information. There, they can continue to ask questions about size, features, applicable scenarios, etc., before deciding whether to visit the merchants' websites. OpenAI also introduced an ad management plugin, suggestions for copywriting and images, as well as text adaptation features. Additionally, HubSpot and Shopify were integrated into the system. It is important to note that the sponsored agent feature is currently only being tested with some advertisers in the United States and has not yet been fully rolled out to users worldwide or all merchants.
