Compute from Colossus leads to relaxed limits.
Key facts
- According to SpaceX, "Colossus 1 features over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, including dense deployments of H100, H200, and next-generation GB200 accelerators
- Opus 4.7 is a few percentage points better than Opus 4.6 in various measurements, not twice as capable or more
- Year over year, API volume is up nearly 17x on the cloud platform," said Vora
- Ami Vora, chief product officer at Anthropic, announced the expanded rate limits during Code for Claude, a developer event livestreamed from San Francisco
Summary
Anthropic is partnering with SpaceX to ease capacity constraints that have stranded Claude customers, a gesture that may soothe developer discontent about service availability and cost. Ami Vora, chief product officer at Anthropic, announced the expanded rate limits during Code for Claude, a developer event livestreamed from San Francisco. "As of today, we are increasing rate limits for developers on Claude Code and the Claude Platform," said Vora. Anthropic is also ending its peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max accounts. The AI biz can do this, she explained, thanks to a partnership with SpaceX that expands available inference capacity.
