Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX to use over 300 megawatts of compute capacity (computing power) from SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, with plans to develop gigawatts of capacity in space. This agreement aims to improve service for Anthropic's paid Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers, following the company's recent statement that demand has strained its infrastructure and affected reliability during peak hours.
