SpaceX signs deal to provide Anthropic with full Colossus 1 data center computing capacity
SpaceX announced an agreement to give Anthropic access to the full computing capacity of its Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs and provides more than 300 megawatts of power. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei announced the deal at a developer conference Wednesday, citing 80x revenue and usage growth in Q1 2026 against a planned 10x. The deal comes as Elon Musk pursues a lawsuit against OpenAI, Anthropic's main competitor.
