In 2022, Rotterdam passed a visionary plan with an ambitious goal: create 20 hectares of new green space throughout the city by 2026. From street-side gardens to nature-based playgrounds, thousands of top-down and bottom-up projects of varying sizes have been realised within six organising tracks.🧵

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:

An up to 5 gigawatt (GW) agreement with Amazon, which includes nearly 1 GW of new capacity by the end of 2026;
A 5 GW agreement with Google and Broadcom, which will begin coming online in 2027;
A strategic partnership with Microsoft and NVIDIA that includes $30 billion of Azure capacity;
Our $50 billion investment in American AI infrastructure with Fluidstack.
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.
