Anthropic announced Wednesday that it reached an agreement with SpaceX to use all available compute capacity at the company’s Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee.
The agreement gives Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of compute capacity, including over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, within the next month.
Anthropic said the additional infrastructure will directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.
As part of the SpaceX agreement, Anthropic said it has expressed interest in working with SpaceX on developing multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.
Following the agreement and other recent compute partnerships, Anthropic said it is increasing usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
The company said it is doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans.
Anthropic is also removing peak-hour limit reductions for Claude Code users on Pro and Max plans. In addition, the company said it is significantly increasing API rate limits for Claude Opus models.
Anthropic said the SpaceX partnership adds to several other major infrastructure agreements announced recently.
These include an agreement with Amazon for up to 5 gigawatts of compute capacity, including nearly 1 gigawatt expected by the end of 2026.
The company also referenced a 5-gigawatt agreement involving Google and Broadcom expected to begin rolling out in 2027.
Anthropic additionally cited a strategic partnership with Microsoft and Nvidia that includes $30 billion worth of Azure capacity, along with a $50 billion AI infrastructure investment through Fluidstack.
The company said Claude currently runs across multiple AI hardware platforms, including AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and Nvidia GPUs.
Anthropic also said some future infrastructure expansion will take place internationally to support enterprise customers in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and government that require regional data hosting and compliance support.
The company noted that its partnership with Amazon includes additional inference capacity in Asia and Europe.
Anthropic added that it plans to expand infrastructure only in countries with legal and regulatory systems capable of supporting large-scale AI investments and secure supply chains.
The company also said it recently committed to covering consumer electricity price increases linked to its US data centers and is exploring ways to extend that policy internationally while investing in local communities hosting its facilities.
