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

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: At its Code with Claude developer conference on Wednesday, Anthropic announced a deal with SpaceX to utilize the entire compute capacity of the latter's data center in Memphis, Tennessee. On stage at the conference, CEO Dario Amodei said the deal was intended to increase usage limits for Anthropic's Pro and Max plan subscribers. The announcement was accompanied by an increase in those usage limits; Anthropic doubled Claude Code's five-hour window limits for Pro and Max subscribers, removed the peak-hours limit reduction on Claude Code for those same accounts, and raised API limits for its Opus model. The table [here] outlining the Opus changes was shared in the company's blog post on the topic.

Anthropic claims the deal gives the company access to more than 300 megawatts of new compute capacity. For its part, SpaceX focused its announcement on the capability of the Colossus 1 supercomputer that's at the center of the deal. "Colossus 1 features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including dense deployments of H100, H200, and next-generation GB200 accelerators," SpaceX wrote. Additionally, Anthropic "expressed interest" in working with SpaceX to build up "multiple gigawatts" of orbital compute capacity, tying into a recent (but unproven) focus on exploring orbital data centers as an answer to the problem that "compute required to train and operate the next generation of these systems is outpacing what terrestrial power, land, and cooling can deliver on the timelines that matter." "I spent a lot of time last week with senior members of the Anthropic team to understand what they do to ensure Claude is good for humanity and was impressed," Elon Musk said on Wednesday. "No one set off my evil detector."

Nieuwe stap in Frans onderzoek naar Elon Musk en X

PARIJS (ANP/BLOOMBERG/DPA/AFP) - Frankrijk heeft zijn onderzoek naar Elon Musk en diens socialemediaplatform X opgevoerd, nadat de miljardair niet kwam opdagen voor een vrijwillig verhoor waarvoor hij was opgeroepen. Dat meldden Franse aanklagers donderdag.

Er is nu een formele procedure gestart tegen Musk, het platform X en voormalig X-topvrouw Linda Yaccarino. De zaak is officieel overgedragen aan onderzoeksrechters.

De autoriteiten in Frankrijk doen al langer onderzoek naar X. Het onderzoek draait onder meer om verdenkingen dat het X-algoritme zou zijn gebruikt voor buitenlandse inmenging in de Franse politiek. Ook is er onderzoek naar de AI-chatbot Grok van Musk, na klachten over het genereren van seksueel getinte nepafbeeldingen en het verspreiden van ontkenningen van de Holocaust op X.

X zei eerder de Franse beschuldigingen van politieke inmenging te verwerpen.
