Musk praises Mythos/Fable as Anthropic signs $40B compute deal with SpaceX
elon musk publicly praised anthropic's mythos/fable model and promised not to cut off the rival ai lab, which just signed a $40 billion deal to use spacex infrastructure. this massive partnership signals a surprising truce between musk and anthropic despite their past rivalry.
anthropic has agreed to pay spacex $1.25 billion monthly for 300 megawatts of compute from the colossus 1 data center, securing about $40 billion in revenue for spacex's xai unit through may 2029. elon musk, who previously dismissed anthropic's chances, reversed course on x to praise their mythos/fable model as the industry leader and vowed not to use infrastructure access to kneecap the rival. despite musk's assurance, the arrangement grants spacex deep visibility into anthropic's operations, raising potential data security concerns similar to ai distilling. the partnership indicates that while musk aims to win the ai race, he is willing to subsidize a direct competitor's infrastructure to secure massive revenue for his aerospace and compute ventures.
