东京/大阪 -- 据多位消息人士向《日经》透露，NTT数据集团正处于为美国人工智能公司Anthropic在日本西部建设数据中心的谈判最后阶段。
TOKYO/OSAKA -- NTT Data Group is in the final stages of talks to build a data center in western Japan for U.S. AI company Anthropic, multiple sources have told Nikkei.
位于大阪府的该设施将拥有日本最大的处理能力之一，建设成本可能达到1万亿日元（63亿美元）。
The facility in Osaka prefecture would have one of the largest processing capacities in Japan, with construction costs potentially reaching 1 trillion yen ($6.3 billion).
该项目将在日本建立Anthropic的首个专用设施，Anthropic是全球最先进人工智能模型的开发商之一。
The project would establish the first dedicated facility in Japan for Anthropic, a developer of some of the world's most advanced artificial intelligence models.
NTT数据集团是电信集团NTT的子公司，NTT数据集团与Anthropic计划在2026财年结束前签署协议，该财年截至明年3月，部分运营预计将于2028年尽早启动。
NTT Data Group, a subsidiary of telecommunications group NTT, and Anthropic aim to sign an agreement by the end of fiscal 2026, which runs through next March, with partial operations set for as early as 2028.
该设施预计总供电容量最高可达500兆瓦，这将使其成为日本最大的数据中心之一。
The facility is expected to have a total power intake capacity of up to 500 megawatts, which would make it one of Japan's largest data centers.
人工智能数据中心还需要使用图形处理单元（GPU）的高性能服务器。安装大量先进的人工智能服务器将使总投资达到数万亿日元。
AI data centers also require high-performance servers using graphics processing units (GPUs). Installing large numbers of advanced AI servers would push the total investment to several trillion yen.
NTT数据集团向《日经》表示，其拒绝置评。Anthropic也未予置评。
NTT Data Group told Nikkei that it declined to comment. Anthropic also refrained from commenting.
为规划中的数据中心获取电力将是一项挑战。由于通过电网从公用事业公司获取500兆瓦电力需要时间，该项目最初将考虑替代方案，包括现场发电和燃料电池。
Securing power will be a challenge for the planned data center. As obtaining 500 MW from utilities through the grid would take time, the project will initially consider alternatives, including on-site generation and fuel cells.
根据斯坦福大学的一项研究，截至2026年3月，Anthropic的先进人工智能模型在美国竞争对手OpenAI和谷歌开发的模型中表现优异，在全球公司开发的模型中排名第一。
According to a Stanford University study, Anthropic's advanced AI model outperformed those developed by U.S. rivals OpenAI and Google as of March 2026, ranking first among models developed by companies worldwide.
Anthropic正考虑在多个亚洲国家建设新数据中心，各国政府正寻求吸引这些项目。《澳大利亚金融评论》报道称，这家美国人工智能开发商正与澳大利亚当地公司进行谈判。
Anthropic is considering building new data centers in several Asian countries, with governments seeking to attract the projects. The Australian Financial Review reported that the U.S. AI developer is in talks with local companies in Australia.
NTT Data Group 按市场份额排名全球第三大数据中心运营商，在多个国家拥有总容量超过 1,600 兆瓦的设施。该公司在开发配备最新技术（包括液冷）以支持人工智能应用的数据中心方面拥有良好记录。NTT Data Group 旨在积累在日本运营大规模设施的专业知识，并利用这些经验争取未来的合同。
NTT Data Group is the world's third-largest data center operator by market share and has facilities with a combined capacity of more than 1,600 MW across multiple countries. It has a track record in developing data centers equipped with the latest technologies for AI applications, including liquid cooling. NTT Data Group aims to build expertise in operating large-scale facilities in Japan and use that experience to secure future contracts.
日本正掀起大规模数据中心开发计划的浪潮。在日本北部的秋田县，出现了一项在预计成本为 2 万亿日元的前提下建设最大容量达 500 兆瓦数据中心的计划。一家台湾投资公司及其他方计划投资约 8,500 亿日元，在日本西部的鹿儿岛县建设一个 350 兆瓦的设施。
Japan is seeing a wave of large-scale data center development plans. In Akita prefecture in northern Japan, a plan has emerged to construct a data center with a maximum capacity of 500 MW at an estimated cost of 2 trillion yen. A Taiwanese investment firm and others are planning to invest approximately 850 billion yen to build a 350-megawatt facility in western Japan's Kagoshima prefecture.
日本政府已将数据中心和云计算列为 17 个战略领域的关键产品和技术。其目标是到 2035 财政年度，动员公共和私营部门在数据中心、云计算和储能电池方面的投资总额达到 32.7 万亿日元。
The Japanese government has identified data centers and cloud computing as key products and technologies in 17 strategic sectors. It has set a goal of mobilizing 32.7 trillion yen in public and private investment in data centers, cloud computing and storage batteries by fiscal 2035.
