According to Aterio Research, the campus will feature seven buildings offering more than 1GW of capacity across two phases, with a total expected investment of $29 billion. Separately, Crusoe's cloud business has secured a $65 million annual agreement with Thinking Machines Lab and an undisclosed contract with Perplexity, pushing Crusoe Managed Inference's ARR above $100 million.
