Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1540 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrator | - Applied Digital develops 210 MW critical IT load for an unnamed hyperscaler tenant | Applied Digital | - | Reported | baxtel.comwbrc.com |
| Cooling | - Proprietary waterless cooling technology | Applied Digital | - | Reported | baxtel.com |

The read
Applied Digital's fifth AI Factory campus, on about 160 acres of a nearly 1,300-acre parcel in Brookwood, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama: 210 MW of critical IT load, a 3.2 billion dollar investment, about 1.26 million square feet at full build and operations targeted for 2028, with proprietary waterless cooling. Baxtel reports the full capacity is leased to an unnamed US investment-grade hyperscaler, the third long-term lease with that tenant, worth about 5.2 billion dollars over the initial term. WBRC (24 September 2026) confirms the site, the more than 3.2 billion dollar investment, more than 1,000 peak construction workers and 270 million dollars of community payments over 20 years, but does not give the MW or name the tenant; the mayor had said on 2 September that nothing was signed. The first Delta Forge campus is applied-digital-delta-forge-1.
