In a dramatic development that bodes well for its coffers, but not so for the competitiveness of its Grok AI model, SpaceX has just inked a $6.3 billion compute deal to start renting out Colossus 2 GPUs, raising question marks over its strategy to compete with the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic. SpaceX will collect $150 million per month from July onwards by renting out NVIDIA GB300 GPUs at its Colossus 2 data center to Reflection As of May 2026, SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center supported over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, divided between H100, H200, and around 30,000 units of the […]

With xAI barely using any compute capacity, its parent company, SpaceX, is now aggressively lending out computing resources of the Colossus 1 data center to monetize its heretofore idle resources, all in a bid to improve its IPO-related prospects. As a case in point, SpaceX has just inked an agreement to furnish Google with scarce computing resources after recently inking a similar agreement with Anthropic. SpaceX will furnish Google with "110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components," with the agreement capable of being canceled by either party on a 90-day notice SpaceX has just filed a disclosure with […]
