xAI and SpaceXAI have just made Colossus 1 available to Anthropic to support Claude.
This means more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs in one of the world’s largest and fastest-built AI superclusters are now helping to improve Claude’s user experience, code limits, and API capacity.
xAI and Anthropic are also discussing plans for several gigawatts of AI computing power in orbit.
Solar-powered data centers in space could be coming soon.
Elon said he personally met with the Anthropic team last week.“Everyone I met was highly competent and cared a great deal about doing the right thing. No one set off my evil detector.”
He approved the lease of Colossus 1 to them. xAI has already shifted its own training to Colossus 2, so the cluster would have been sitting idle. Now it’s being put to good use powering more Claude capacity.
Space is becoming the next frontier for data centers.
