Anthropic takes control of SpaceX's Colossus supercomputer

from Elon Musk Podcast · host Stage Zero

Anthropic has recently formed a strategic partnership with SpaceX to utilize the Colossus 1 supercomputer, significantly boosting its computational power to compete with rivals like OpenAI. This infrastructure deal allows the company to double usage limits for Claude Pro and Max subscribers, effectively removing the "usage walls" that previously frustrated software developers and power users. Alongside these capacity upgrades, Anthropic introduced a "dreaming" feature for AI agents, which allows them to autonomously organize and refine their memories during idle periods to improve long-term performance. The company also launched tiered premium plans reaching up to $200 per month, specifically targeting professional engineers who require high-volume, agentic coding workflows. These developments occur as the broader data center industry shifts toward innovative liquid cooling and on-site power solutions to handle the intense heat and energy demands of next-generation AI. Overall, the sources highlight Anthropic's transition from providing simple chatbots to deploying persistent, self-improving AI systems integrated into enterprise environments.
