Anthropic announced a major computing deal with SpaceX on Wednesday that immediately boosts rate limits for Claude Code users. The agreement gives the AI company full access to a large data center in Memphis, Tennessee.

At its Code with Claude conference in San Francisco, Anthropic said it will use the entire capacity of SpaceX’s Colossus 1 supercomputer. The facility houses more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs and will deliver over 300 megawatts of new compute power within the month. CEO Dario Amodei linked the move directly to higher usage allowances for paying customers.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X to the Anthropic-SpaceX Colossus deal focus on the immediate doubling of Claude Code rate limits, removal of peak-hour throttling, and major API improvements. Users and tech accounts express excitement about expanded compute capacity enabling more development work, with many viewing it as a positive step addressing prior usage frustrations. Neutral announcements from media and Anthropic itself dominate, alongside optimistic commentary on infrastructure partnerships accelerating AI capabilities.
