Anthropic Raises Claude Code Usage Limits, Credits New Deal with SpaceX
The deal gives Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity and immediate rate-limit increases for paid Claude Code users.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX at the Code with Claude conference, gaining access to the entire compute capacity of SpaceX's Colossus data center in Memphis, Tennessee.
- Colossus features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, providing Anthropic more than 300 megawatts of new capacity 'within the month' to support the company's expanding Claude infrastructure needs.
- Anthropic is doubling five-hour usage limits for Claude Code on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans while removing 'peak hours' restrictions and increasing API rate limits 'considerably' for Claude Opus.
- Despite previously calling Anthropic 'misanthropic and evil,' Elon Musk recently said he was 'impressed' with the team, though he reserves the right to reclaim compute if Claude engages in harmful actions.
- Anthropic has also struck deals with Amazon and Google as it explores orbital data centers to address compute demand outpacing terrestrial power and cooling capacity constraints.

slashdot.orgAnthropic raises Claude Code usage limits, credits new deal with SpaceX
SAN FRANCISCO—At its Code with Claude developer conference on Wednesday, Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX to utilize the entire compute capacity of the latter's data center in Memphis, Tennessee. On stage at the conference, CEO Dario Amodei said the deal was intended to increase usage limits for Anthropic's Pro and Max plan subscribers. The announcement was accompanied by an increase in those usage limits; Anthropic doubled Claude Code's f…
Claude hitches ride on SpaceX's datacenter capacity
Anthropic is partnering with SpaceX to ease capacity constraints that have stranded Claude customers, a gesture that may soothe developer discontent about service availability and cost. Ami Vora, chief product officer at Anthropic, announced the expanded rate limits during Code for Claude, a developer event livestreamed from San Francisco. "As of today, we are increasing rate limits for developers on Claude Code and the Claude Platform," said Vo…
What is Anthropic’s SpaceX compute deal?
Anthropic and SpaceX expand Claude’s compute capacity Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX that gives it access to large amounts of compute capacity tied to SpaceX’s data center infrastructure. In the feed, multiple related items describe Anthropic using SpaceX’s capacity to address a “compute…
Anthropic hit on two tables simultaneously: on the one hand, concrete and immediate improvements for its most intensive users (double the limits of Claude Code, removal of the restrictions at peak hours, increase of API quotas for Opus); on the other, an unprecedented agreement with SpaceX to access the entire computing capacity of Colossus 1, at Memphis. 220 000 GPU Nvidia, 300 megawatts, and an alliance between two companies that everything se…
