SpaceX pens a new deal with Anthropic as Elon Musk sues competitor OpenAI for allegedly backtracking on its mission.<\/p>\n

Anthropic has reached a deal to tap the computing resources of Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX, marking a detente with its one-time critic and a boost for both companies in the high-stakes artificial intelligence race.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement announced on Wednesday, Anthropic will use the full computing power of SpaceX\u2019s Colossus 1 facility in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses more than 220,000 Nvidia processors and will give the Claude chatbot maker 300 megawatts of new capacity within a month. That\u2019s enough electricity to power more than 300,000 homes \u2013 as the Dario Amodei-led company seeks to boost the capacity of its Claude Pro and Claude Max AI assistants for subscribers.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as Anthropic held its developer day and unveiled a new feature for its Claude AI system called \u201cdreaming\u201d. The tool allows AI systems to review work between sessions, spot patterns, and update files that store user preferences and other context.<\/p>\n

Available as a research preview, \u201cdreaming\u201d comes with software for managing agents, or AI programmes that perform tasks with little human involvement. Amodei has previously warned that AI could wipe out 50 percent of entry-level jobs in the next one to five years.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by the extra capacity from the SpaceX deal and other similar recent agreements, Anthropic said it was doubling Claude Code\u2019s rate limits for its paid plans, removing peak-hour usage caps for Pro and Max accounts, and sharply increasing the volume of requests developers can make to its Claude Opus models.<\/p>\n

The company said it is also interested in working with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of space-based orbital data centres \u2013 one of Musk\u2019s key goals and a major driver behind SpaceX\u2019s initial public offering \u2013 as the endeavour is expected to be highly…<\/p>\n
