The Axios/WSJ 'campus near Waco with its own 1.6 GW gas plant' and the Nexus Hubbard campus are matched here on capacity, developer and geography; the two reports do not explicitly state they are the same site, so treat the linkage as a strong inference. Anthropic plans to deploy Google/Broadcom-co-designed TPUs at the Hubbard site.
