Moreover, Anthropic “expressed curiosity” in working with SpaceX to construct up “a number of gigawatts” of orbital compute capability, tying right into a latest (however unproven) concentrate on exploring orbital information facilities as a solution to the issue that “compute required to coach and function the following technology of those programs is outpacing what terrestrial energy, land, and cooling can ship on the timelines that matter.”
The deal may be stunning to those that have adopted Musk’s latest public feedback—he was, till now, essential of Anthropic.
