Anthropic has signed a compute agreement with SpaceX to access Colossus 1, a massive AI supercomputer with more than 220,000 Nvidia's GPUs, including H100, H200, and GB200 accelerators, according to a recent announcement. The additional capacity is expected to support Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.
Could IT infrastructure, and even the rise of AI, eventually migrate beyond the atmosphere? Amazon founder Jeff Bezos predicted in October that gigawatt-scale, solar-powered data centers would be a reality within 10 to 20 years. At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, Elon Musk was even more ambitious: AI data centers in the "final frontier" could be viable within two to three years. Google also plans to deploy its TPU chips in orbit via Project Suncatcher.
