Anthropic Nears First Profit, Commits $1.25 Billion Monthly to SpaceX for AI Computing

Anthropic, an AI startup, is approaching its first quarterly operating profit with projected sales of at least $10.9 billion for the June quarter, more than doubling its previous quarter's revenue. This growth is driven by strong demand for its Claude AI software. Concurrently, SpaceX disclosed in its IPO filing that Anthropic agreed to pay $1.25 billion monthly through May 2029 for computing capacity from SpaceX's Colossus data centers, with either party able to terminate the agreement with 90 days' notice. The partnership also includes plans to expand AI compute capacity, reflecting rising demand and collaboration between the companies.
