Anthropic and SpaceX signed a massive compute deal worth $1.25 billion per month through May 2029, according to SpaceX's IPO filing. The payments will be reduced for May and June during ramp-up. Anthropic is expanding beyond SpaceX's Colossus 1 facility to Colossus 2, scaling up Nvidia GB200 capacity. The deal addresses Anthropic's compute power limitations amid growing revenue. SpaceX expects to enter additional similar contracts and maintains sufficient capacity for its own AI models. Either company can exit with 90 days' notice.
