Definition: Project Ranier
Amazon's supercomputing center in New Castle, Indiana, near South Bend. Operational at the end of 2025 with nearly a half million Trainium2 chips, Ranier is used to train Anthropic's Claude models. With a million chips projected, Ranier will use two gigawatts of electricity.

One might not think the color pink when it comes to AI datacenters, but Amazon's Ranier is the exception. On 1,200 acres of land, Ranier is one of the largest AI processing centers in the U.S. (Image courtesy of Amazon.com.)
