Anthropic Raises Claude Code Usage Limits, Credits New Deal with SpaceX

The deal gives Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity and immediate rate-limit increases for paid Claude Code users.

  • On Wednesday, Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX at the Code with Claude conference, gaining access to the entire compute capacity of SpaceX's Colossus data center in Memphis, Tennessee.
  • Colossus features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, providing Anthropic more than 300 megawatts of new capacity 'within the month' to support the company's expanding Claude infrastructure needs.
  • Anthropic is doubling five-hour usage limits for Claude Code on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans while removing 'peak hours' restrictions and increasing API rate limits 'considerably' for Claude Opus.
  • Despite previously calling Anthropic 'misanthropic and evil,' Elon Musk recently said he was 'impressed' with the team, though he reserves the right to reclaim compute if Claude engages in harmful actions.
  • Anthropic has also struck deals with Amazon and Google as it explores orbital data centers to address compute demand outpacing terrestrial power and cooling capacity constraints.
