The deal gives Claude access within a month to all capacity at SpaceX's Colossus 1 data centre, more than 300 megawatts and over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs.
Effective immediately, five-hour Claude Code rate limits are doubled for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans, peak-hour reductions end for Pro and Max, and Opus API limits rise.
The company said the added capacity will directly benefit Pro and Max users, follows major agreements with Amazon, Google, Broadcom, Microsoft, Nvidia and Fluidstack, and could extend to orbital AI compute.
