Anthropic has reached an agreement with SpaceX to significantly expand its computing capacity, as demand for its Claude artificial intelligence software continues to accelerate.
Under the deal, Anthropic will access computing resources from SpaceX’s large-scale data center in Memphis, known as Colossus 1.
The companies said the partnership would “substantially” increase Anthropic’s compute capacity and allow it to raise usage limits across its AI products.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Colossus 1
Colossus 1 is described as an advanced AI supercomputer equipped with more than 220,000 GPUs supplied by NVIDIA.
The system includes H100, H200, and GB200 accelerators and is designed to handle large language model training, multimodal systems, scientific simulations, and generative AI workloads.
The agreement is expected to provide Anthropic with more than 300 megawatts of additional computing capacity within a month.
The company said it will use the expanded resources to improve performance and availability for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.
Anthropic also announced product updates alongside the deal, including doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.
It is also removing peak-hour limit reductions for Pro and Max accounts and increasing API rate limits for Claude Opus models.
The partnership brings together two players that are also competitors in the broader race to develop advanced AI systems.
