Makes sense. Elon overestimated Grok usage and compute demands. Anthropic massively underestimated and is likely looking in every corner of the world for compute. SpaceX also wants additional revenue on the books for IPO.

yeah people have been talking about this for a few weeks. Spacex is the only unallocated nvidia gpu's on earth, anthropic is going through a crisis due to lack of compute.

It would have been a huge black mark on the record of both if they couldn't manage to put the deal together.

There are reportedly significant additional un-deployed GPU's (which cannot be allocated) sitting in boxes in warehouses at OpenAI who doesn't have facilities or power to deploy them. But that's a separate thing.

Maybe this is how xAI gets to that outlandish valuation included in the IPO numbers.

... well and they want to twist whatever knives they have in oAI -- if they can help the competition with their silly over-spend more the better.

Plenty of people paying the grok $300/month fee almost exclusively to generate high quality soft porn videos. I’ve “tested” it myself during a trial period and boy is it good.

So the problem is not enough gooners are willing to pay.
