"Anthropic said Tuesday it had signed an agreement with SpaceX to use all the computing capacity in SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center in Memphis. (SpaceX owns xAI.) The deal will give Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of computing capacity, or more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs. Anthropic says the additional capacity will be used to serve its Claude Pro ($20 per month) and Claude Max ($100 to $200 per month) subscribers."
"While everybody else in the AI space scrambles to lock down computing power, xAI's Grok models are apparently being used so little relative to peers that the company can sell off the capacity of entire data centers, "colossal" ones at that."
""By way of background for those who care, I spent a lot of time last week with senior members of the Anthropic team to understand what they do to ensure Claude is good for humanity and was impressed," Musk said in an X post. "Everyone I met was highly competent and cared a great deal about doing the right thing. No one set off my evil detector.""
Anthropic signed an agreement with SpaceX to use all computing capacity in the Colossus 1 data center in Memphis. The deal provides more than 300 megawatts of computing capacity, corresponding to over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs. The added capacity will support Anthropic’s Claude Pro and Claude Max subscription tiers. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said he met with senior members of Anthropic to understand how Claude is made and described the team as competent and focused on doing the right thing. Musk also said xAI had moved training workloads to Colossus 2, freeing capacity at Colossus 1 for sale.
