xAI announced on 2026-05-06 that Anthropic has leased the full compute capacity of Colossus 1 (>300 MW, >220,000 Nvidia GPUs). xAI retains facility ownership; Anthropic is the operating-tenant. Dollar value and contract duration undisclosed.
Capacity, hardware inventory, ownership chain, and supply-chain position for Colossus 1. Any export-control exposure is walked through the canonical organization graph — surfacing when the BIS Entity List touches a node above the facility in the chain — rather than asserted at the facility row.

Operator (or owner of record) per the Scrutica facility row.
Ownership chain not yet documented in the available data (licensed corporate-ownership database, licensed supply-chain database, SEC filings, LEI registry; as of 2026-07-27). The chain may extend further once additional ingestion runs complete; absence here reflects coverage at this snapshot, not a documented apex.

Description
xAI Colossus 1 was converted from a factory into a data center in 2024. It is unusual among large scale AI data centers in the mixture of different types of cooling and power infrastructure. Initially, Colossus 1 was powered by portable gas turbines and a small pre-existing substation. This infrastructure has since been joined by two additional substations providing power from the local grid, with batteries providing backup power. Cooling for the building is accomplished with both air-cooled ch

No flags found across the chain (BIS Entity List, designation-cascade closures, or compute-threshold reporting obligations) as of 2026-07-27. Cascade closures evaluated: 0.
No ownership-change events documented in the available data for any entity in this chain over the last 5 years. Events draw from a licensed corporate-ownership database’s deal records (M&A, buyout, divestiture, asset sale, JV formation); coverage is strongest for private US/EU transactions and partial for state-owned-enterprise restructurings or non-Western private deals. Subsequent ingestion runs may add events here.
Commitments dated 12+ years ago are framed in the past tense: closed-end private-market funds are typically structured on a ~10-year term plus extensions, and the source records the commitment event, not whether a position remains today.

The walk for Colossus 1starts at the operator org id (or owner org id when no operator is recorded) and climbs upward through the unified affiliate graph, normalized to trace child-to-parent relationships. At each hop, the highest-authority parent edge wins (priority ordering: SEC EDGAR / 10-K / LEI registry > licensed corporate-ownership database > licensed supply-chain database > BIS / Federal Register > licensed affiliate graph). Confidence and recency break ties.
The walk terminates on (a) a node with a public-filing-grade ancestor edge — a SEC filer, an LEI-registered listed entity, or a 10-K-disclosed parent — (b) a government entity, (c) a 10-hop limit, or (d) a detected cycle. When termination is not at a public filer or government, the panel labels the chain's end-state as opaque beyond that point. Opacity is reported, never implied.
Per-source confidence (licensed corporate-ownership database): HIGH for Parent / Subsidiary edges; MEDIUM for JV and AFFILIATE edges. Known limitations: (1) shell companies with undisclosed principals terminate the public-record walk; (2) recent transactions reach the panel after the database's weekly refresh; (3) cross-jurisdiction private holding structures may carry intermediate hops that are not in any ingested source. Each row carries an edge-level as of date so freshness is auditable per hop.
Two further caveats are inherent to how the walker and the underlying data compose. The walker selects a single highest-authority parent per hop, so JV or multi-parent ownership structures collapse to one displayed path; alternate parents exist in the ingested sources but are not surfaced on this card. And some licensed-database edges encode parent-of relations against entity-resolved stub IDs whose display name reflects a sub-entity (a business unit, an acquired-then-renamed line) rather than the canonical parent — when a chain reads structurally surprising, the per-row source citation is the authoritative reference, not the chain's narrative shape.
Computed at: 2026-07-27. Walk depth observed: 1 hop. Sources combined: Scrutica facility record + licensed corporate-ownership database + SEC CIK cross-reference + LEI registry + (where applicable) licensed supply-chain database + Federal Register designation closures. The licensed databases are held under subscription and not redistributed; per-hop labels name no vendor.
