Common questions

What is Delta Forge 2?
Delta Forge 2 is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in Brookwood. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
Who is building Delta Forge 2?
Applied Digital is recorded as a party to Delta Forge 2 on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is Delta Forge 2 operating yet?
As of the most recent verification on the DEPLOY registry, Delta Forge 2 is announced but not yet built. DEPLOY tracks the lifecycle from announced through energized, so the current state reflects sourced evidence, not the original announcement.
How verified is the data on Delta Forge 2?
This record has been checked against its cited sources by automated agents for the indexed registry; it has not been individually reviewed by a person. Every capacity figure is an append-only, dated claim resolved to the highest-evidence tier; superseded claims are kept but excluded from the current view.
