Anthropic secures $3.4 billion generator deal for AI data centers, FT reports Nov 8 : Anthropic has struck a deal worth about $3.4 billion to secure gas-fired power generators for data centers, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The AI startup bought commitments for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty generators in late September from OnePWR Solutions, a San Antonio, Texas-based equipment supplier, the report said. Anthropic did not acquire OnePWR itself, and none of the supplier's employees transferred to the AI startup, but the deal included engineering and construction capabilities needed to install the generators, the report added, citing a person familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately verify the report and Anthropic and OnePWR did not respond to requests for comment. Strong demand for Anthropic's Claude family of AI models has prompted the company to secure additional computing and power capacity. Reuters reported in September that Anthropic expects to spend more than $500 billion over the next 10 years building AI infrastructure.

Democrats’ midterm sweep opens path to bypassing Electoral College by 2028

Democrats’ midterm gains have opened a new front in the fight over how America chooses its president — one that could reshape the 2028 race for the White House. Democrats now control the governor’s office and both chambers of the state legislature in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, already enacted by 18 states and Washington, D.C., has 222 electoral votes pledged to it — 48 short of the 270 needed to take effect.
