Anthropic Asked the Public for $100 Billion at $1.5 Trillion. Days Before the Roadshow, Reuters Says the Buyers Want a Discount, and the Compute Bill Just Doubled to $895 Billion
Reuters reported Thursday Nov 5 that potential investors doubt Anthropic can start its IPO roadshow the week of November 9 for a November listing, viewing the $1.5 trillion valuation as the high end and pushing for a bigger discount after the post-midterm AI selloff. The amended S-1 filed Nov 2 shows about $17 billion in Q3 revenue, a slide back to a $567 million operating loss, and $895.4 billion of compute and infrastructure commitments with $69.8 billion due within a year. The same Friday OpenAI wired $11 billion at $1.25 trillion after scaling back a round first pitched at $30 billion-plus at $1.4 trillion.

The First American Humanoid Robot Stock Closed Up on a Day the Nasdaq Fell 5.5%. Its Co-Founder Says the Robot Rents at About What the Worker Costs, and the Filing Says It Will Get Five Times Cheaper to Build
Agility Robotics began trading on the Nasdaq as AGLT on Thursday, November 5, the first US company devoted solely to humanoid robots to go public. GeekWire reports the shares closed up 2.2% on a day the Nasdaq fell 5.5%. The company took in about $174,000 in the first half of 2026, has built about ten of its new Digit 5 robots, and its co-founder told Ars Technica that customers pay a rate comparable to human labor, while the filing targets a build cost falling from $150,000 to $30,000.

Voters Said No to Data Centers 40 Times Out of 41. By Wednesday Afternoon Amazon Was Up 8%, Google 6%, and CoreWeave, the Smaller Rival Renting Out AI Computing, Was Down 10%
Democrats flipped both chambers of Congress on Tuesday and voters sided against data centers in 40 of 41 local ballot measures. Analysts warned overnight of an AI sell-off, but on Wednesday the market split the industry in two: Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta rallied while CoreWeave and other smaller 'neocloud' builders sank, with Needham's Laura Martin writing that higher regulatory barriers entrench incumbents.

Ohio Voters Banned Data Centers in Ten Towns by Landslides, Fired the Officials Who Signed the Deals, and Ousted the Senator They Called 'the Face of Data Centers'
On Election Day, voters in at least 14 Ohio municipalities passed data center bans or restrictions, most by 67 to 82 percent, including Sunbury, where Amazon's $2 billion campus was planned, and Trenton, where the ban blocks a 1,000-megawatt Amazon annexation. Piqua and Urbana recalled their mayors over data center deals, Ashville voters repealed a council deal passed under an emergency clause, and Democrat Sherrod Brown unseated Sen. Jon Husted after a campaign that branded him 'the face of data centers.'

OpenAI Says Its Georgia Data Center Will Switch Off a Gigawatt When Your Air Conditioner Needs It. The Campus Opens in 2028, the Cut Is 'Up To', and the Neighbors Protested It All Summer
OpenAI announced on November 2 a national 'Grid Protectors Program' under which its future data center campuses will agree with utilities to cut electricity use when the grid is strained, starting with its planned 3.2-gigawatt Effingham County, Georgia campus, where a 25-year Georgia Power deal lets the utility curtail up to 1,000 megawatts, about the average demand of 700,000 homes. OpenAI says it will pay the full infrastructure cost and that families should not subsidize a compute campus; the campus is still in development, delivery runs 2028-2032, the 1,000 MW is an 'up to' figure already in the July deal, Georgia Power's $950 million-a-year savings estimate is portfolio-wide, and OpenAI co-founded a lobbying alliance in September whose first job is to head off state and local data center moratoriums in Georgia and six other states.

A Judge Told Musk's AI Company Its 'Temporary' Power Plant Is a Power Plant. The Next Day He Announced Two More Data Centers Named Spam and Gun Range, Online by Christmas
On Friday October 30 Judge Debra M. Brown of the Northern District of Mississippi refused to dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act suit over the trailer-mounted gas turbines powering Colossus 2 in Southaven, ruling they are not exempt 'mobile sources' and that citizen suits are constitutional. On Saturday Musk said on X that two more Colossus 2 sites, Gun Range and Spam, will be operational by the end of November and December, with about 1.2 million Nvidia Blackwell chips on the campus by year end. Contractors have filed more than $220 million in liens, the state is seeking $6.1 million in penalties, and the company is buying up neighbors' homes.

Meta Has the Money, the Chips and the Agent. To Give Muse a Body It Flew Its Robot Chief to Shanghai for Two Months, and Says the Parts Aren't Here
The Information reported on October 31 that Meta built a 106-pound prototype humanoid called Max with Shanghai's Fourier in about three months, with a second version underway since September. Meta says it is internal research with no plans to sell, and a spokesperson conceded that sourcing parts hard to obtain domestically is a reality for the whole industry. The build lands three months after the FCC banned imports of new foreign-made humanoids, a rule that lets research units in but requires 65% US-made components for anything sold.

Voters in 10 States Decide Tuesday Whether to Block the AI Data Center Buildout. Ohio Has 21 Measures on the Ballot, 80% of Ohioans Want a Moratorium, and Amazon's $2 Billion Campus Hangs on One Town's Vote
Reuters reported on October 29 that voters in 10 states will decide 41 local ballot measures on Election Day that would delay, prohibit or add requirements to data centers, with Ohio alone carrying 21 of them across more than a dozen jurisdictions. In Sunbury, Ohio, a measure banning data centers above 25 megawatts could derail Amazon's proposed $2 billion campus, and Amazon's public policy lead went on local TV to defend it. TIME reports a Bowling Green State University survey found nearly 80% of Ohioans support a moratorium, Ohio's average household electric bill rose about 15% in the past year, and Grove City voters will decide a charter amendment requiring voter approval for any development over 50 acres, 20 megawatts, or 500,000 gallons of water a day.
