At its developer conference in San Francisco, Anthropic announced a new deal with SpaceX. This deal gives Anthropic access to the full computing power of SpaceX’s data centre in Memphis, Tennessee. The goal is to improve usage limits for certain Anthropic subscribers.
During the conference, CEO Dario Amodei explained that the deal will double the usage limits for Pro and Max plan subscribers. It will also remove some restrictions during busy hours and increase limits for their Opus model. These changes were outlined in a blog post by Anthropic.
With this deal, Anthropic gains over 300 megawatts of extra computing power. SpaceX highlighted its Colossus 1 supercomputer, which has over 220,000 powerful NVIDIA GPUs. These are special computer chips that help with complex processing tasks.
Furthermore, Anthropic showed interest in working with SpaceX to create more computing power in space. They believe this could be important because the need for computing is growing faster than traditional methods can support.
Some may find this deal surprising, as Elon Musk previously made negative comments about Anthropic. In February, he tweeted criticism of the company and its approach to artificial intelligence.
