Anthropic Partners with SpaceX to Expand Claude AI Usage and Compute Capacity

Anthropic has partnered with Elon Musk's SpaceX to access the Colossus 1 data centre, adding over 300 megawatts of compute capacity and more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs. This expansion enables Anthropic to double usage limits for Claude Code and increase API rate limits for paid users, benefiting Claude Pro and Max subscribers. The partnership supports Anthropic's broader infrastructure growth amid rising demand for its AI tools, with SpaceX retaining the option to cancel the deal under certain conditions.
