Anthropic says it's going to foot the bill for electricity price increases tied to its data centers. "We will pay for 100% of the grid upgrades needed to interconnect our data centers," Anthropic said in a blog post published Wednesday, adding that it will absorb costs that might otherwise be passed on to American households. Anthropic said it will secure additional power to avoid pushing up electricity prices and invest in "grid optimization tools" designed to reduce strain and keep prices low.
