Operational; CoreWeave is recorded as owning the AI hardware inside this site

Description quoted from Epoch AI Frontier Data Centers

Helios is retrofitted from a former crypto-mining facility owned and operated by Galaxy. Now in the AI infrastructure business, Galaxy is expanding the site. Galaxy plans to lease its approved 800 MW of capacity to AI neo-cloud Coreweave. An additional 2.7 GW of capacity is under study, but even if that happens, it is not planned to be operational before 2029. We report the power capacity based on Galaxy's reports, which roughly match permit documents and our cooling model. Compute is estimated based on power capacity and the server rack density reported by Galaxy.

Companies are grouped by their role at the site, with recorded parents above them. No parent companies were found in the ownership data. Further ownership remains unresolved where labelled. Record source: Epoch AI Frontier Data Centers; authority tier 2. Each role is drawn only as the relationship its own source establishes, listed above; none implies exclusive control of the full site. Ticks count the export-control and government-link findings for each company.

Two relationships are recorded at Coreweave Helios, under two labels: “Tenant attribution withheld” and “Uses the compute (source marks speculative)”. One recorded relationship is withheld because its cited source does not establish it; the reason is given with it. Both are marked inferred: the relationships themselves were derived from other records.

Methods and sources

Ownership roles

Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.

Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.

Parent companies

Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.

Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.

Missing values

Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.

Publication limits

Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.

Epoch AI estimates capacity using satellite imagery, permits and corporate disclosures. Its catalog is the source for this site record.
