Anthropic Boosts Claude Usage Limits While Announcing Spacex Compute Agreement

The deal gives Anthropic more than 300 megawatts of new compute and raises usage limits for Claude Code, the company said.

  • On Wednesday, Anthropic announced an agreement to utilize SpaceX's Memphis Colossus 1 data center, gaining access to more than 300 megawatts of capacity and over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs.
  • SpaceX absorbed xAI in February to consolidate infrastructure, aiming to realize Elon Musk's long-term goal of building enormous data centers in space to harness solar energy from Earth's orbit.
  • Effective immediately, the expansion allows increased usage limits for Claude Code, Claude Pro, and Claude Max subscribers, while also significantly raising API rate limits for Claude Opus models.
  • Beyond the SpaceX deal, Anthropic is pursuing major infrastructure agreements including a $50 billion investment with Fluidstack, while navigating regulatory scrutiny regarding Colossus 1's previous use of methane gas turbines.
  • Both companies are preparing for historic initial public offerings this year, with Anthropic targeting a $1.2 trillion valuation and SpaceX pursuing $1.75 trillion, as they explore co-developing orbital AI compute capacity.
