SpaceX to Give Anthropic Access to Its Massive AI Supercomputer
The deal gives Anthropic more than 300 megawatts of new capacity and over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, easing limits for Claude Code users.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic announced a deal to secure all compute capacity at SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, providing more than 300 megawatts and over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs.
- Effective Tuesday, Anthropic doubled Claude Code's five-hour rate limits across Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans while raising Claude Opus API limits considerably on the same date.
- Anthropic stated the expanded capacity will directly improve service for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers, and the company "expressed interest" in developing multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity with SpaceX.
- The partnership proceeds despite SpaceX owner Elon Musk running competing firm xAI and posting on X that Anthropic is "doomed to become the opposite of its name," while the Defense Department embraces xAI's Grok model.
- Anthropic's broader infrastructure strategy includes a $50 billion investment with Fluidstack, 5 GW agreements with Google and Broadcom, and Amazon partnerships delivering in-region capacity in Asia and Europe for compliance-focused enterprises.

Elon Musk is building one of the largest AI data centers in the world. But instead of his own AI, he is now renting the coveted computing power to Anthropic. Behind this is a struggle between Musk and his new biggest competitor.
Anthropic recruited SpaceX's 220,000-GPU Colossus 1 to fix what Claude users kept complaining about
Anthropic and SpaceX this week entered a new partnership, giving Anthropic access to the compute capacity of the space company’s data center, Colossus 1. As Anthropic shakes hands with Elon Musk’s space company, it will increase its compute capacity and, no doubt, hopes to shake off recent complaints from users who said they were hitting usage limits far sooner than expected. Based in Memphis, Tennessee with over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs (including…
Elon Musk called Anthropic ‘evil’ 3 months ago. Now he’s taking $4 billion to become its landlord
Three months ago, Elon Musk wrote on X that Anthropic was “evil,” “misanthropic,” and that the AI lab hated Western civilization. On Wednesday, he leased Anthropic one of his most valuable assets: the world’s biggest supercomputer. But Anthropic-lovers shouldn’t bask too long in Musk’s newfound praise (even if he did decide that “nobody set off my evil detector” ). The deal has little to do with them as a company, analysts told Fortune, and ever…
Anthropic adding computing capacity from Musk’s SpaceX
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has signed a deal to provide computing capability for Anthropic as the demand ramps up for the artificial intelligence firm’s products. In an announcement Wednesday, the companies said Musk’s firm will allow Anthropic to use all of the compute power through its Colossus 1 data center, which houses more than 220,000 Nvidia…
SpaceX will help power Claude with 220,000 Nvidia GPUs despite Elon's attacks on Anthropic
SpaceXAI, the combined company formed after SpaceX absorbed xAI earlier this year, announced that Anthropic will use compute capacity from Colossus 1, the Memphis data center Musk has repeatedly described as one of the world's largest AI supercomputers. The site offers more than 300 megawatts of new capacity and over...Read Entire Article
