Two announcements from Anthropic yesterday, and they're connected in a way that matters. First, the immediate impact: Claude Code rate limits doubled across Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. Peak-hours throttling removed for Pro and Max. Opus API rate limits got a 1500% input to...
SpaceX's S-1 surfaced that rival Anthropic rents 300MW (~220,000 GPUs) of xAI's Colossus 1 capacity near Memphis for $1.25B a month through May 2029, a contract that could exceed $40B, terminable on 90 days' notice. xAI posted a ~$2.4B Q1 loss against $7.7B capex. Competitors...
This one hit my inbox and I had to read it twice. Anthropic announced a partnership with SpaceXAI for the entire Colossus 1 data center in Memphis. 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs. 300+ megawatts. That's the largest single compute acquisition by any AI lab. Full stop. But the part that ma...
Your AI coding budget just got a lot harder to predict. A viral analysis on Hacker News (413 points, 396 comments) makes the case that every major AI lab has been running a loss-leader program, and the correction is starting. Two concrete dates matter. GitHub transitions all C...
Reflection gets access to SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis at $150M/month starting July 1, with immediate Nvidia GB300 access and a 90-day exit after the first three months. (CNBC) Reflection, last valued at $25B and building American open-source frontier models, j...
On July 16 there was a wave of backlash calling the Bun Zig→Rust rewrite unreviewed AI slop. On July 19, Simon Willison went and checked. (Simon Willison) Jarred Sumner claimed Claude Code v2.1.181 and later ship the Rust port. Willison verified it independently rather than ta...
