Anthropic renting out the data center Elon built for Grok is the kind of plot twist you can't make up.

Plot twist but makes perfect sense for both companies. Anthropic gets the compute they so desperately need to keep growing. Elon rents out compute that xAI couldn't make use of due to little demand for Grok. SpaceX gets revenue on the books for IPO. PS.

What's the problem here exactly? Are you insinuating any non-democratic government is bad and evil and only democratic governments are the correct and right way to govern? sort of like: "there is only one true prophet, and it's the one I follow, and all the others are false!"

Probably a good idea in all honesty. xAI is a deeply unserious lab

From a technical standpoint xAI is basically Gemini team B who were give A+ salaries to join the company. But even then, I suspect their hands were tied in some areas because Elon had some expectations from his AI.

Did Google outbid Elon for team A? Or A team just don't like Elon?

Doubling the five-hour rate limits is merely a marketing stunt if the weekly rates are not also doubled. It simply means that you can reach the weekly limits in three days instead of five.

I have never come close to my weekly limit, but have hit my hourly limit frequently.

I hit my weekly limit in 3 days this week. Irregularly do in 5. With the top MAX sub.

One of the reasons I refuse to use xAI’s models is because of the outsized negative environmental impacts of the methane gas turbines. Now I have to avoid Claude too.

If you can make up an inconsequential arbitrary rationalization to not use a service then I’m sure you can do the opposite to convince yourself to use it. That’s what virtue signaling is I guess - the action you’re taking is pointless, the only point is to tell everyone you’re taking it therefore feed the narrative forward? The entire economy runs off gas turbines though this is the thing you boycott?

Sorry, what?

Deciding not to spend money with a company you don't like is not pointless. The point is that you're not participating in something that you judge to be wrong.

The world is full of things I feel are wrong yet have near zero power to stop. That does not mean I should willingly support those things.

What does your usage look like day to day? Are you using a low level amount all day long? I'm with the others here, I've never hit the weekly limit ever, only the hourly, and I consider myself a heavy user.

I dedicate a significant amount of time to defining the precise actions that agents should perform (PRD/ADR). I break down the feature sets into Milestones and slices (tasks). These tasks are small, well-defined, and scoped. I have a prompt template that the “architect” agent prepares whenever I want to initiate a new feature. This ensures that the prompt structure remains consistent and standardized over time. The g…

I have found that it uses a lot more tokens if I give it a very detailed todo and loop over every task 1 by 1. I now keep it to phases with detailed tasks underneath and use /loop over the phases and it uses a lot less. I also manage the context windows and tend to clear it often to keep it under around 200k (or less depending on project size)

No, I didn't say that.

My point is that Anthropic cares a lot about "democracy" but will buy compute from a data center mostly funded by non-democratic nations.

It was pretty obvious to me that the merger was a way of quietly shutting xAI down in a way that keeps investors happy. With it also being used as a vehicle to offload the Twitter debt to the public, he certainly has good accountants.

Yep - and in the meantime it's an asset of SpaceX to boost their IPO price, as long as this is done before people realize that xAI is apparently becoming a datacenter company not an AI one.

Then you've got SpaceX buying 1200 cybertrucks from Tesla, so it's serving as failure laundering vehicle for all his endeavors.

Anthropic is either taking this space business more serious than the general public, or posting this sentence was part of the deal to get the compute.

Anthropic needs any compute they can get. So if Elon wants to build orbital data centers Anthropic would be happy to run models on it. There isn't really any doubt Elon can build orbital data centers the question is if they are economical compared to earth based.

Thank you for the "real speak" section. Accurate and hilarious.
