Blackstone, the world’s largest private owner of data centers, will invest $5 billion in equity capital in a new artificial intelligence infrastructure company with Google, the New York-based asset management firm announced Monday.

Google will supply the new U.S.-based company with its tensor processing units — chips purpose-built for processing artificial intelligence computations — bringing the first 500 megawatts of compute capacity online by 2027, with “plans to scale significantly over time,” Blackstone said in a statement.

“This new company has enormous potential as it helps to meet the unprecedented demand for compute,” Jon Gray, President and COO of Blackstone, said in the statement.

The unnamed company will be helmed by Benjamin Treynor Sloss, who most recently served as Google’s chief programs officer. A Google spokesperson declined to comment on whether Google would retain a direct leadership role in it.

The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the joint venture before Blackstone’s official statement, said the private equity giant would hold a majority stake, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Blackstone did not disclose the venture’s ownership structure in its statement, and did not respond to CNBC’s request for comment by publication time.

The Journal also reported that the joint venture has already identified likely data center locations, some of which are under construction.

Blackstone, which manages more than $1.3 trillion in assets, has invested aggressively across the AI ecosystem and, earlier this month, established a similar venture with Anthropic.

Shares of Alphabet and Blackstone rose by about 1% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.

The Twin Cities media loses two legends in the past week.

Final Walz fraud report rips ‘culture of tolerance’ as Minnesota taxpayers face billions in alleged losses

A comprehensive final report released Tuesday by the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee concluding its work for the current session takes aim at a "culture of tolerance" under Gov. Tim Walz that it says allowed serial fraudsters to fleece taxpayers for billions of dollars. 

The Professional Women’s Hockey League postponed a playoff game Monday night “due to player safety concerns related to illness.”

The Minnesota Frost and the Montreal Victoire were supposed to play a decisive Game 5 Monday, but the game was postponed two hours before its scheduled start.
