"The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us."

"So my very basic read is Elon's offer isn't serious."

"Musk and his legal team's insistence that the offer is real should keep it in the headlines for a while, but I’m still skeptical of their story."

"We don't expect any meaningful discussions to develop."

"Elon's offer to purchase the OpenAI nonprofit for $97.4billion isn't going to happen."

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens."

Will Elon Musk Buy OpenAI?

Anthropic signed a deal with SpaceX on Wednesday to use the full computing capacity of its Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, providing Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of additional capacity.

Anthropic signed a deal with SpaceX on Wednesday to use the full computing capacity of its Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, providing Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of additional capacity.

Colossus 1 features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, as well as "dense deployments" of H100, H200 and next-generation GB200 accelerators, which support large language models, multimodal systems, scientific simulations and generative AI workloads at scale.

Anthropic claimed that the extra capacity would directly improve service for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers, while stating it was doubling Claude Code's rate limits, removing peak-hours usage caps for those on paid plans and raising its API rate limits "considerably" for its Claude Opus models.

As part of the agreement, Anthropic also expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute, following Elon Musk's announcement that SpaceX and Tesla would produce a terawatt of such capacity through its <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/musk-plans-b-terafab-chip-plant-near-austin">Terefab initiative</a>.

Speaking on the deal, Musk, who had previously criticized Anthropic, said he had spent time with the company's senior leaders last week and was "impressed," adding that "no one set off my evil detector." He also noted that SpaceX has moved its own AI training to Colossus 2.

The SpaceX deal adds to several recent compute agreements for Anthropic, including arrangements with Amazon, Google, Microsoft and NVIDIA, as well as a $50 billion investment in American AI infrastructure with Fluidstack.

Anthropic's deal with SpaceX to access Colossus 1's 220,000-plus NVIDIA GPUs is a massive win for AI users. Claude Pro and Max subscribers get real, immediate benefits — doubled rate limits and removed peak-hour restrictions. Pursuing orbital compute capacity shows this partnership is thinking beyond what terrestrial infrastructure can handle.

Concentrating frontier AI compute among just a handful of labs is dangerous for competition and global equity. When xAI hands half its GPUs to a rival, it shrinks the competitive field and hands enormous leverage to whoever controls the infrastructure. A frontier of two or three dominant labs means everyone else — users, developers, entire nations — ends up paying whatever price those labs set.

Anthropic Signs Deal With SpaceX for Colossus 1 AI Compute

Anthropic's SpaceX deal to access Colossus 1 is a massive win for AI users. Under the arrangement, Claude Pro and Max subscribers will receive real, immediate benefits, with rate limits doubled and peak-hour restrictions removed. It also looks to the future by exploring how to expand compute capacity beyond what terrestrial infrastructure can currently handle.

There is 33.3% chance that Anthropic will file an initial registration statement (S-1) with the SEC to launch an IPO before July 1, 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
