Anthropic will use all of the computing capacity at SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center in a new agreement with Elon Musk’s rockets and artificial-intelligence company.
SpaceX will supply 300 megawatts of new computing capacity, using more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, by the end of the month, Anthropic said Wednesday. Anthropic also expressed interest in a partnership with SpaceX to build AI data centers in space, long one of Musk’s top priorities.
Financial terms of the agreement weren’t disclosed.
The agreement comes as Anthropic has struggled to gather enough computing power to fuel enormous demand for its AI models. It said the SpaceX agreement will “substantially increase” its capacity, and announced higher usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
The deal also comes as SpaceX is shifting its own AI strategy. In February, the company merged with Musk’s xAI, whose Grok models were built using the Colossus 1 data center, which is located near Memphis, Tenn. Musk is working on an even bigger data center, Colossus.”
