Google이 Amarillo, Texas의 Crusoe 데이터센터 캠퍼스의 고객으로 명시되었고, 이 캠퍼스는 최소 6개의 단층 건물을 포함한다.

Google의 Crusoe Amarillo 캠퍼스 투자 약속은 Crusoe의 저전력 맞춤형 반도체 전략을 검증하고, 주요 하이퍼스케일러들이 Nvidia와 AWS 자체 칩을 넘어 GPU 소싱을 다양화하려는 의지를 보여준다.

Google will be the end user of Crusoe's data center campus currently under construction near Amarillo, Texas. Dubbed the Goodnight Campus, the project is located in Claude at 10001 Lima Road in Armstrong County. Crusoe officially confirmed the development for Google on September 28.

"Building the future of AI requires a new kind of infrastructure, starting with energy," said Chase Lochmiller, CEO and co-founder of Crusoe. "Crusoe's strategy is to build AI factories directly at the source of abundant, low-cost energy—to both improve utilization of existing assets as well as catalyze new energy generation. The Armstrong County campus is a prime example of this energy-first strategy. We're bringing new, affordable clean energy online. We broke ground in June 2025 and are building at the same swift pace we set in Abilene."

The site has a direct connection to Serena's adjacent Goodnight 1 wind farm (265.5 MW), which is operational, and the under-construction Goodnight 2 wind farm (265.5 MW). When the wind farms exceed the campus's power needs, excess energy will be injected into the grid.

Crusoe has been developing the site since June 2025. In July 2026, the company filed for two additional buildings, with the project ultimately planned to encompass at least six single-story structures. Four buildings will span 805,380 square feet each, while two will total 484,955 square feet each. According to Aterio Research, the campus will feature seven buildings and offer more than 1 GW of capacity across two phases: the first phase covering four buildings and 530 MW, with the second phase adding three buildings and 500 MW. A total investment of $29 billion is expected.

In November 2025, Google announced a $40 billion investment in expanding its cloud and AI infrastructure in Texas through 2027, directed toward existing data center campuses in Ellis County and three new campuses planned in Armstrong and Haskell Counties.

Google and Crusoe have previously collaborated on Project Tembo, a 2.7 GW data center campus near Cheyenne, Wyoming. However, Crusoe paused work on that site in June "at the request of our customer." Reports later suggested the site was being developed instead by Google's subsidiary Jupiter Star Holdings, LLC, replacing Crusoe, though the company has not commented publicly.

Elsewhere in Texas, Crusoe is developing a 1.4 GW data center campus in Childress and operates the Abilene site used by OpenAI, with additional capacity set to be leased to Microsoft.

Crusoe's cloud business has secured AI contracts with Perplexity and Thinking Machines. Under its agreement, Perplexity will train its models on Crusoe's dedicated Nvidia GB300 NVL72 clusters and serve them in production through Crusoe's managed inference service. "The fastest-moving AI companies need infrastructure that keeps pace across the entire model lifecycle and scales with them as they grow," Lochmiller said. "Perplexity is building the future of how people find answers, and Crusoe is a key partner in making that possible, from the first electron to the last token."

With Thinking Machines, Crusoe will provide compute capacity to power its inference workloads using Nvidia HGX B200 systems under a $65 million annual agreement. "Crusoe Managed Inference took us from evaluation to production quickly and met the standards we hold our own systems to, giving us the scale and economics to reinvest in the research at the core of what we do," said Myle Ott, ML Infra Lead at Thinking Machines Lab. The deal brought Crusoe Managed Inference's annual recurring revenue to more than $100 million.
