  "account": "Anthropic, the maker of the Claude artificial intelligence system, has entered into a data center lease agreement with Nova Scotia-based EverWind in Point Tupper, marking its first such deal in Canada. This follows EverWind's announcement of plans to invest over C$10 billion in data center installations and wind power projects in the province, the largest private investment in Nova Scotia's history.\n\nJacob Glick, Anthropic’s head of public policy for Canada, emphasized that the company would safeguard ratepayers and water resources while ensuring local communities reap the benefits. In 2024, Anthropic allocated $7.33 billion towards computing and infrastructure, a threefold increase from the previous year.\n\nThe company is currently preparing for a US IPO that could value it at more than $2 trillion. However, New York City Comptroller Mark Levine has urged Anthropic to delay the offering due to safety and governance concerns.",
