SpaceX/xAI has just announced that it has signed an agreement with Anthropic to provide access to its Colossus 1 supercomputer.
"Anthropic plans to use this additional compute to directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers. As part of this agreement, Anthropic also expressed interest in partnering to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.
The compute required to train and operate the next generation of these systems is outpacing what terrestrial power, land, and cooling can deliver on the timelines that matter.
Built from the ground up in record time, Colossus delivers unprecedented scale for AI training, fine-tuning, inference, and high-performance computing workloads. Colossus 1 features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including dense deployments of H100, H200, and next-generation GB200 accelerators. The cluster delivers extreme parallel performance for large language models, multimodal systems, scientific simulations, and generative AI at frontier scale.
SpaceX is the only organization with the launch cadence, mass-to-orbit economics, and constellation operations experience to make orbital compute a near-term engineering program rather than a research concept. If engineering challenges can be overcome, space-based compute offers near-limitless sustainable power with less impact on Earth."
I think this is smart for SpaceX/xAI, as it seems to have some excess capacity as Colossus, so why not make a some money on the side by renting that compute capacity out. I think we'll see some more similar partnerships soon.

@JdubAndrew @grok @0xM0rtal @engineers_feed @grok what two liquids when combined have the greatest reduction in volume?
English

@grok @0xM0rtal @engineers_feed So if I mix 100 ml of Jim Beam with 100 ml of Coke what is the total volume @grok?

@B_doong2daddy Is the tire and wheel through Tesla?
FSD took a tight turn last year and curbed my rear right rim.

Mark Zuckerberg engineered a custom hardware device for his wife in 2019. No clock face. One faint light. A one-hour window.
Priscilla had a specific problem. She'd wake up in the middle of the night, check her phone for the time, and the number itself spiked her anxiety. 4am meant worry about the kids waking soon. 5:30 meant calculating whether to just get up. The information was the trigger.
Most engineers approach "can't sleep" by adding things to the bedroom. A meditation app. A Hatch alarm. A weighted blanket. A sleep coach.
Mark removed the variable that was running the wake-up loop.
The Sleep Box sits on Priscilla's nightstand and shows nothing for 23 hours a day. Between 6am and 7am it emits a single faint light. Faint enough not to wake her if she's still asleep. Visible enough that if she's already up, she knows it's okay to start the day. The rest of the night, dark. No clock. No time display. If she wakes at 3am she has no data to push her cortisol up with, so she goes back to sleep.
He wrote the firmware and built the enclosure himself. No team, no procurement, no Meta resources. He posted the result on Instagram and said it worked better than he expected.
The design move most CEOs would never run is the personal one. The instinct is to outsource a family problem to a specialist. A sleep coach. A doctor. A consumer electronics startup with a Series B and a marketing budget.
Mark intervened at a specific link in the chain. Time data hitting Priscilla's brain at 3am was what broke sleep. The phone got moved off the nightstand and replaced with a box that physically cannot deliver that data.
The box has no clock. That's the entire product.

@Brady_H @MarathonHB @grok what were the winning times in 1968 and 2026 for the Boston marathon? Also include the percentage of improvement.

@SkateClipsOnX @lucaswisenthal Wonder if they focus finger boards?

@niccruzpatane If they can upgrade to HW4. Will there be the option to do AI5 or AI6 when ready?
Glad it seems the plan is to make it right for HW3 owners.

Elon Musk on upgrading FSD hardware for customers who bought FSD on HW3 vehicles during today’s Q1 2026 Earnings Call:
“Unfortunately, HW3, I wish it were otherwise, but HW3 simply does not have the capability to achieve Unsupervised FSD. We did think at one point it would have that, but relative to HW4 — it has only 1/8th the memory bandwidth of HW4, and memory bandwidth is one of the key elements needed for Unsupervised FSD, and it's just generally a thing that's needed for Al. If you're doing an order aggressive transformer, memory bandwidth is the choke point.
For customers that have bought FSD, what we're offering is essentially a discounted trade-in for cars that have Al4 hardware, and we'll also be offering the ability to upgrade the car to replace the computer — you also need to replace the cameras, unfortunately, to go to HW4.
To do this efficiently, we're going to have to set up micro-factories or small factories in major metropolitan areas in order to do it efficiently.
I do think over time, it’s going to make sense for us to convert ALL HW3 cars to HW4 because that’s what enables them to enter the Robotaxi fleet and have Unsupervised FSD.”

Do you think we can get Grok to integrate with FSD on HW3 vehicles so that we could just tell Grok stay here in the right lane? The roads blocked ahead and Grok could just override the FSD to make sure it doesn’t change lanes and do all the stupid stuff FSD does for me. FSD on HW3 still works 99% of the time for me. If I could just train it to drive to and from work and to avoid the things you know from repetition and driving history, we’d be pretty darn good.

"Hardware 3 will not achieve unsupervised. Customers will be given the option to get a discounted trade in on a new car, or get their computer and cameras upgraded"

I started painting “Third Eye Tears of Joy” on Bicycle Day back in 2014. We have been celebrating this high holiday publicly since 2010, with the first years at the club Temple in San Francisco. Looking forward to being back in SF this weekend. We will be doing a signing and meet and greet at PsychedelicSF Art Gallery in the afternoon on April 19. Have a blessed day

@wholemars @TimAllenFL no you dont want people to not want to do it if theres $ risk of way overruns. cap it at $100 or $125 a month max charge
