The enemy of my enemy...

Anthropic has agreed to pay xAI $1.25 billion per month to host its Claude AI model, with plans to expand into the Colossus 2 data center. This partnership is notable given Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s previous criticism of Elon Musk’s political affiliations, suggesting that market forces may be overriding stated corporate principles as companies grow.

From the SpaceX filing, we learned that Anthropic will be paying xAI $1.25 billion per month to host Claude. And Tom Brown of Anthropic posted on X that they’ll also expand into Colossus 2: Appreciate elonmusk and the team helping us find good homes for the Claudes. Strange partnership. Only a couple months ago, Dario Amodei griped about Greg Brockman donating money to Trump, although to his credit he walked it back. Now Anthropic is putting Claude’s future into the hands of Elon Musk, with all of Elon’s political baggage. As companies get bigger, maybe there are market forces that take over from stated principles. Or maybe we ascribe values to companies that were never really there. To be fair, though, I was also just considering giving X money to re-enable tweet cross-posting for my users. Micro.blog is so small, I can choose not to.
