Canton, Mississippi, United States
Amazon Madison Mega Site is an operational AI data center in Canton, MS, USA, with AI chips owned by Amazon and used by Anthropic (speculative). It hosts an estimated 214k H100-equivalent chips, scaling toward a projected 514k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 284 MW of IT power, rising to 683 MW — at a capital cost of $10.8 B, rising to $25.9 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.

Land clearing begins
Generators and chillers still being installed on buildings 1-5.
Buildings 1-5 are operational, based on roofs being completed 5 months ago and generators being installed by 2025-04-10.
Confirmation that five buildings are fully equipped with cooling and backup generators.
Buildings 6 and 7 roof completed. Building 8 roof nearly completed. Building 9 roof half way up. No new operational buildings.
Buildings 6 and 7 operational, estimated from roofs having been completed 9 months ago (similar timeline to AWS buildings at New Carlisle in 2025).
Buildings 8-12 are operational. In June of 2026 only a faint outline of buildings 10,11 and 12 is visible, estimating construction completion to be the end of 2027, alligning with expected completion by 2027. This final estimates adds three months to that for server installation.
