Crusoe to build 900-megawatt AI data center for Microsoft in Texas

AI data center startup Crusoe said on Friday it will build a new 900-megawatt campus to run artificial intelligence workloads for Microsoft in Texas, as tech companies aggressively expand generative AI capacity.

Billions of dollars are being spent on data centers to meet the massive computing ‌requirements for ⁠GenAI. Microsoft ⁠alone reported $37.5 billion in capital expenditure for the quarter ended December 31, ​with about two-thirds going toward computing chips for services like Copilot and ChatGPT.
