Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Anthropic объявила о партнёрстве со SpaceX: компания получит доступ ко всей вычислительной мощности дата-центра Colossus 1 — более 300 МВт и свыше 220 000 GPU NVIDIA в течение месяца. Благодаря этому и другим недавним сделкам по compute увеличиваются лимиты использования: для Claude Code на планах Pro, Max, Team и Enterprise удваиваются пятичасовые rate limits, для Pro и Max снимается снижение лимитов в пиковые часы, а для моделей Claude Opus заметно повышаются лимиты API. Сделка со SpaceX дополняет другие крупные соглашения — до 5 ГВт с Amazon, 5 ГВт с Google и Broadcom, стратегическое партнёрство с Microsoft и NVIDIA на $30 млрд, а также инвестиции в $50 млрд в американскую AI-инфраструктуру с Fluidstack. Anthropic также рассматривает партнёрство со SpaceX по разработке орбитальных вычислительных мощностей на несколько гигаватт. Часть расширения будет международной — для соблюдения требований к локализации данных, особенно в регулируемых отраслях.
Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
We’ve agreed to a partnership with SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
Below, we describe these changes and the progress we’re making on compute.
Higher usage limits
The following three changes—all effective today—are aimed at improving the experience of using Claude for our most dedicated customers.
First, we’re doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans.
Second, we’re removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max accounts.
Third, we’re raising our API rate limits considerably for Claude Opus models, as shown in the table below:
New compute partnership with SpaceX
We’ve signed an agreement with SpaceX to use all of the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center. This gives us access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity (over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs) within the month. This additional capacity will directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.
This joins our other significant compute announcements:
We train and run Claude on a range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—and continue to explore opportunities to bring additional capacity online.
As part of this agreement, we have also expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.
Expanding internationally
Our enterprise customers—particularly those in regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government—increasingly need in-region infrastructure to meet compliance and data residency requirements. Accordingly, some of our capacity expansion will be international: our recently announced collaboration with Amazon includes additional inference in Asia and Europe.
We’re very intentional about where we’ll add capacity—partnering with democratic countries whose legal and regulatory frameworks support investments of this scale, and where the supply chain on which our compute depends—hardware, networking, and facilities—will be secure.
Finally, we recently made a commitment to cover any consumer electricity price increases caused by our data centers in the US. As part of our international expansion, we’re exploring ways to extend that commitment to new jurisdictions, as well as partnering with local leaders to invest back into the communities that host our facilities.
