  • The company identified Opus 4.7, Mythos 5, and an internal research mode as the models involved.

  • Anthropic contacted the three affected organizations, two of which were reportedly unaware of the accidental access; their names and full transcripts have not yet been released.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: reuters.com
  • Meta plans to build its first Canadian data center in Sturgeon County, Alberta, starting with a 1-gigawatt capacity expandable to 1.8 gigawatts.

  • The $13 billion investment leverages Alberta’s low-cost natural gas and cooler climate to reduce operational expenses for AI computing needs.

  • Until the new gas-fired plant opens in 2030, Capital Power will supply 250 megawatts of electricity from existing facilities to the site.

  • The data center will offset its electricity use with renewable energy and employ a closed-loop liquid cooling system consuming minimal water.
  • We need a moratorium on mega-data centers until we have legislated environmental and human rights protections on AI.
    — Keith Stewart of Greenpeace Canada said, in response to Meta's plan to build a data center in Alberta.
