SpaceX has agreed to provide its Colossus 1 supercomputer to AI firm Anthropic, enabling faster, expanded AI model usage. Despite Musk suing OpenAI—Anthropic's rival and a direct competitor to his xAI startup—he praises Anthropic's ethical approach and safety focus on their Claude AI. 

This partnership helps Anthropic overcome compute shortages, doubling usage limits and boosting API capacities. The deal also opens collaboration on orbital AI computing, supporting Musk's vision of sustainable, space-based data centers for powerful AI workloads.
