  "account": "BENGALURU: Anthropic is seeking shareholder approval for a new corporate structure that would grant its CEO, Dario Amodei, and six co-founders a combined 50.1% of voting power, according to The Information. This structure, akin to one seen at Palantir, would give the co-founders a special class of shares, providing them collective voting control over most corporate matters as long as three of the seven co-founders maintain a minimum shareholding in the company. The arrangement would remain in effect until such time.",
