As I understand it, the problem is cooling. There isn't any medium to take away the heat, so the only option is to slowly radiate it away.

Anyone who has googled just once to ask if datacenters in space make any sense, has found out they don't because they can't get rid of heat. That leaves only two kinds of people left who are still talking excitedly about datacenters in space: The uninformed and the grifters.

Scott Manley, I’d say one of the top pop space youtubers say otherwise. If anything it’s easier in space. On earth most complexity in datacenter is cooling. In space you just radiate it away.

And SpaceX already proven they can launch sort of datacenters 10k times by launching Starlink (up to 20KW of solar each IIRC).

FWIW Musk should support Bernie Sanders more. Putting moratoriums on datacenters would make space based ones far more economical.

For context, xAI GPU utilization is at 11% and they're also expanding.[0] Renting one datacenter to Anthropic doesn't mean that they would be shutting xAI / Grok down. [0] https://wccftech.com/xai-using-just-11-percent-gpus-while-me...

11% is the MFU. Not how many GPUs are running. Big misunderstanding.

Anthropic taketh and Anthropic giveth.

Exactly. Today they say this, then tomorrow they'll silently reduce limits and argue with anyone who calls them on it.

This is obviously because of the new compute deal. I don't see them going back unless prosumer demand outgrows compute again.

People are so cynical on HN. Just move to API billing if not getting enough subsidized compute is that big a deal for you?

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.

That’s because the week ends before you can use them because you’re waiting for your hourly resets. Now the week essentially got longer with the same limit

Limits were the last straw that made me cancel my subscription and make my workflow completely model agnostic with pi.

While this is good news, I'm not coming back. Anthropic just lost me with too many wrongs in too short of a time period.

Opus has been replaced with GPT 5.5, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and they all allow me to use my own, single harness and switch models easily if any of them start treating me the same.

Source on this?

Following various X posts, asking Grok to check my memory. https://grokipedia.com/page/Colossus_supercomputer backs this up.

Elon Musk is not a reliable source.

Is that what you do when you prepay for a year to get a discount and the supplier just says "oh I'll just give you half of what you paid for"? You "just move to pay again for the rest"?

Pretty smart for SpaceX though. They’re turning an asset they made for a money-pit (Grok) into probably a major source of revenue ahead of their IPO.

Its not even that. Its better to be involved in the game with a leader/help out a competitor who is competing against someone you don't like and don't want them to win, than to sit it out.
