Anthropic has also ‘expressed interest’ to co-develop data centres in space, said SpaceX.
Anthropic has agreed to purchase compute capacity from Space X’s AI supercomputer Colossus 1, marking the latest in multibillion-dollar industrial tie-ups between AI companies and infrastructure providers. Terms of the deal between the two companies remain undisclosed.
This, as well as Anthropic’s other recent compute deals, including with Amazon and Google, is allowing the company to increase usage limits for Claude Code and Claude API.
The company announced yesterday (6 May) that it is doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans; removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max users; and raising API rate limits “considerably” for Claude Opus models.
Colossus 1 features more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, including dense deployments of H100 and H200 chips, and the newer GB200 accelerators.
