We tried to warn you about Anthropic. Now they're using xAI's ultra-polluting community-killing nightmare data centre to power your toxic claude relationship All the new paid subs from @rutgerbregman.com and @quitgpt.bsky.social's campaign, now powered by Musk 🫠 www.anthropic.com/news/higher-...

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.

(1/6) There's growing alarm over the substantial environmental harms of the sprawling infrastructures and global supply chains that make AI technologies possible. For a profession/industry like translation, which is now largely intertwined with these technologies… www.iti.org.uk/resource/the...

Sasha Luccioni I believe is the one who did the earliest and most realistic estimate of the impact of LLMs. She assembled an excellent resource here - huggingface.co/blog/sasha/a...

As the translation industry continues raving about LLMs’ translation capabilities, it’s worth drawing attention to Luccioni’s recent study showing that such generative AI models can use up to 30 times more energy than task-specific models (like traditional NMT) to complete the same task!

Alberta wants tech companies to build massive AI data centers in the province — and power them with natural gas instead of renewables so its oil and gas industry has a new market for its product.
