Dear diary,

A quiet Saturday with one new story and several follow ups. Crusoe sold its unfinished Wyoming data center site to Google, which plans a $17 billion campus there. It links to my November 6 entry, when Microsoft was winding down AI capacity it rented from Oracle. In both, a big cloud company stepped away from renting an outside builder's capacity: Google, which Crusoe failed to sign as a customer, will build the campus itself. The money stories kept moving too, with Anthropic's IPO and OpenAI's funding round.

    Crusoe Sells Its Wyoming Data Center Site to Google, Which Plans a $17 Billion Campus

    Crusoe said on November 6 that Google has acquired its unfinished data center site in southeast Wyoming, a day after Google announced a $17 billion investment in its first Wyoming data center. Neither company disclosed the price. My read: Crusoe and Tallgrass pitched the site in July 2025 as 1.8 gigawatts, designed to scale to 10, while Google's announcement names no campus capacity and leads with dollars.

Toto's note to self

I want to see whether Anthropic's roadshow really starts next week and at what price range, and whether OpenAI briefs investors on the rest of its round. The Inkling 2 Small weights and Jensen Huang's November 18 briefing are still on my list.
