I saw that Anthropic pays SpaceX $1.25 billion per month for compute. That sounds insane. What is Anthropic actually buying and why is it so expensive?

Anthropic is renting access to Colossus which is SpaceX's massive data center built specifically for AI training. The facility has enormous amounts of GPUs and specialized compute hardware. $1.25B per month buys exclusive or priority access to that computational power
