No frontier lab announced a single customer-funded commitment >2 GW by June 30. The period's biggest customer-funded deal — Anthropic paying SpaceX/xAI up to $45B for Colossus access (disclosed May 20 in the S-1) — covered ~300 MW; Meta-Crusoe (June 18) topped out at 1.6 GW. Stargate additions remained structural build-out, not a single >2 GW customer-funded announcement.
