Anthropic has struck a deal with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to access computing power from its Colossus 1 data centre, adding to the AI start-up’s web of deals as it seeks enough capacity to run its popular models.
The Claude AI maker will take more than 300 megawatts of computing power at SpaceX’s huge Tennessee data centre, which houses hundreds of thousands of advanced Nvidia processors, the companies announced on Wednesday.
The data centre deal comes as Anthropic has sought new providers of computing power to keep pace with its growth and serve its models to clients. It has recently signed deals with Amazon and Google and has raised tens of billions of dollars this year mainly to fund infrastructure.
