How we checked this
Checked on September 18, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article confirms Anthropic's $35 billion contract with Lambda and says Lambda will use about half of Hut 8's capacity. It describes this as future use, not current use, and does not tie the 'half' explicitly to the 704 MW figure.
Confirmed in the source:
- Anthropic signed a $35 billion contract with cloud provider Lambda
- Lambda will use about half of Hut 8's capacity to run AI models
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That Lambda is already using the capacity; the article says it 'will use' it
- That the half is measured against a 704 MW figure; the article says only 'about half of Hut 8's capacity'
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
