Anthropic agreed to pay about $1.25 billion per month to Spa

Anthropic agreed to pay about $1.25 billion per month to SpaceX/xAI for compute infrastructure access.

That means roughly:

$15 billion per year

Potentially $40+ billion total if the agreement continues through 2029.

The deal reportedly includes access to:

Colossus 1

Colossus 2

220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs

300+ MW compute capacity in Memphis.

This is one of the largest AI compute contracts ever reported publicly. It also shows how expensive frontier AI has become:

model training

inference (running Claude for users)

GPU shortages

electricity + cooling costs

all together now cost billions annually for top AI labs.
