SpaceX has announced a significant deal to provide Anthropic with access to its Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee. This partnership will supply Anthropic with over 300 megawatts of compute capacity, including more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, to enhance the performance and availability of its Claude models. The agreement, which includes immediate improvements to Claude Pro and Max subscribers' rate limits and API access, is seen as a strategic move by Elon Musk, potentially influenced by his ongoing disputes with OpenAI and Sam Altman.
