Makes sense. Elon overestimated Grok usage and compute demands. Anthropic massively underestimated and is likely looking in every corner of the world for compute. SpaceX also wants additional revenue on the books for IPO.
yeah people have been talking about this for a few weeks. Spacex is the only unallocated nvidia gpu's on earth, anthropic is going through a crisis due to lack of compute.
It would have been a huge black mark on the record of both if they couldn't manage to put the deal together.
> Spacex is the only unallocated nvidia gpu's on earth
There are reportedly significant additional un-deployed GPU's (which cannot be allocated) sitting in boxes in warehouses at OpenAI who doesn't have facilities or power to deploy them. But that's a separate thing.
Plenty of people paying the grok $300/month fee almost exclusively to generate high quality soft porn videos. I’ve “tested” it myself during a trial period and boy is it good.

If an OpenAI employee is reading this, I'll gladly take them off you :)
Does anthropic trust spacex enough for this though.
If they trust Claude code, they can trust spacex. Safety trust tm.
I mean yes? Considering that we're here reading the news that they've agreed to this.
Maybe this is how xAI gets to that outlandish valuation included in the IPO numbers.
... well and they want to twist whatever knives they have in oAI -- if they can help the competition with their silly over-spend more the better.

So the problem is not enough gooners are willing to pay.
It’s the venn diagram of gooners and people with $300 of disposable income.
So what’s the terafab for if spacex already has so much unused capacity ?
where are all the claude fans who hate elon? Its very funny how ant will do anything at this point.
