Anthropic is paying SpaceX $15 billion annually to utilize its Colossus supercomputers. Rather than competing in the AI foundation model race, SpaceX is positioning itself as the critical hardware layer below the models.
SpaceX has filed for a record $75 billion IPO at a $1.75 trillion valuation, positioning it to build a space-based Dyson Swarm computing empire.
