Amazon Ridgeland

Ridgeland, Mississippi, United States

Amazon Ridgeland is an operational AI data center in Ridgeland, MS, USA, with AI chips owned by Amazon and used by Anthropic (speculative). It hosts an estimated 171k H100-equivalent chips, scaling toward a projected 788k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 228 MW of IT power, rising to 840 MW — at a capital cost of $8.6 B, rising to $31.8 B. We estimate that it uses Amazon Trainium2 chips. The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, regulatory filings, chip efficiency, and third-party reporting. This site is likely part of the Anthropic–Amazon Project Rainier collaboration.
