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.

[SMM Tin News Flash: PT Timah Q1 Production Up 82% YoY]

Indonesian state-owned tin producer PT Timah achieved refined tin production of 5,630 mt in Q1 2026, a significant increase of 81.9% YoY. During the same period, PT Timah's refined tin sales volume was 6,009 mt at an average price of $49,221/mt, generating revenue of 5.47 trillion Indonesian rupiah (approximately 2.291 billion yuan), up 160.5% YoY. According to the company's report, tin-in-ore production from its onshore and offshore operations reached 6,312 mt in Q1, up 96.3% YoY. The company attributed this growth to improved production efficiency, an increased number of operating vessels within permitted areas, and higher production from cooperative onshore mines (including small-scale mines and onshore suction dredge pontoon operations). Improved security conditions in mining areas also strongly supported production growth, effectively reducing the impact of illegal mining.
