• At its Code with Claude developer conference, Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX to utilize the entire compute capacity of its data center in Memphis, Tennessee.
  • The deal provides over 300 megawatts of new compute capacity, including over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Anthropic doubled Claude Code’s five-hour window limits for Pro and Max subscribers, removed peak-hours limit reduction, and raised API limits for its Opus model.
  • Anthropic expressed interest in working with SpaceX to build up multiple gigawatts of orbital compute capacity.
  • The deal comes despite Elon Musk’s previous critical comments about Anthropic.
  • Demand for Claude Code has increased due to users moving away from OpenAI and growing adoption in professional software development.
