Anthropic signed an agreement with Elon Musk's SpaceX to enhance its computing power and meet the surging demand for its Claude artificial intelligence software. The two companies said Wednesday that Anthropic plans to obtain computing resources from a large SpaceX data center in Memphis called Colossus 1. Anthropic said the partnership would "significantly" increase its computing resources and enable it to raise usage limits on its AI products. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The move brings together two AI race rivals. While xAI lags behind in coding, it leads in data center and chip procurement. xAI had previously provided computing power to Cursor and was building data centers in Memphis and Mississippi. In a potential new branding move, xAI referred to itself as "SpaceXAI" when announcing the computing agreement.
