xAI rents Colossus 1 supercomputer to Anthropic, expects annual revenue of $5 to $6 billion

Techub News, citing CryptoBriefing, reports that Elon Musk's xAI will lease its Colossus 1 supercomputer to competitor Anthropic, with an expected annual revenue of $5 to $6 billion. The cluster is equipped with over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, and xAI has already migrated its workloads to the newer Colossus 2. The lease provides Anthropic with 300 megawatts of computing power for training its Claude model, allowing it to access large-scale computing resources without long-term construction. xAI is preparing for an IPO, with a valuation expected to exceed $75 billion. This deal converts idle assets into a stable revenue stream.
