SpaceX said Wednesday it would lease its Colossus 1 artificial intelligence data center to Anthropic, pairing Elon Musk’s company with a previously criticized rival in a deal that could add momentum to the Claude creator’s AI coding push. Under the agreement, Anthropic will use the full computing power of the facility in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses more than 220,000 Nvidia processors and will give the Claude chatbot maker 300 megawatts of new capacity within a month. The deal gives Musk’s IPO-bound SpaceX a marquee customer as it looks to sell investors on its AI ambitions while helping Anthropic ease capacity constraints following surging demand for products such as its AI coding tool, Claude Code.
