EverWind Fuels is building a data centre at Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, that Anthropic says will power Claude models. Anthropic will lease the first phase for at least 20 years. EverWind says it is raising $8 billion in private capital, and the first 95-megawatt phase is due online by the end of 2027.
Amazon launches its Built Together framework, pledging more than $1 billion over five years to U.S. data-center communities while ending government-agency NDAs and committing to annual public disclosures on energy, water and carbon-free power.
Americans are turning sharply against data centers as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott imposes a statewide moratorium on new facilities, with 54% now calling them mostly bad for the environment and six in 10 uncomfortable with one operating nearby.
TypeSafe AI’s new Jev System One tops GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Terra and Claude Sonnet 4.6 in LangChain’s narrow weather-agent evaluation, matching human pass/fail labels on all 500 repeated decisions.
