Key points

  • Anthropic leased the entire computing power of Elon Musk's Colossus 1 facility, including over 220,000 GPUs, to address rate limits and compute bottlenecks.
  • Musk and Altman were in federal court over OpenAI's for-profit transformation, while Musk's xAI partnered with Anthropic.
  • The demand for compute is driving cross-company partnerships, as seen with Cursor training on xAI's infrastructure.
  • Anthropic's new agent features (dreaming, outcomes evaluation, multi-agent orchestration) further increase compute requirements.
