Good morning {{first_name| Artificial intelligence lovers}}. Just a few months ago, Elon Musk posted that man “hates Western civilization” and should be renamed “misanthrope.” Now, he’s renting out his entire Colossus 1 computing suite to them.
The new deal accomplishes three things at once: corrects Claude’s computing woes, hurts Musk’s nemesis OAI by fueling its biggest competitor, and signals a new compute owner for SpaceXAI even as Grok continues to chase the frontier.

Rundown: Anthropic only I fell It struck a deal with SpaceX to lease Colossus 1, increasing Claude’s usage and putting Musk and Anthropic on one team months after he joined. He said That the anthropologist should be called a “misanthropist” and that he “hates Western civilization.”
-
Anthropic will lease all of Colossus 1, a giant 300-megawatt cluster in Memphis, with more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs coming online during the month.
-
Claude Code’s 5-hour usage caps are now doubled across paid tiers, with additional increases via API and no caps on peak hours, Anthropic said.
-
Musk He replied On X, SpaceX will lease computing to “AI companies that take the right steps to ensure it is beneficial to humanity.”
-
Information too I mentioned Yesterday, Anthropic committed to a $200 billion, 5GW computing deal over the next five years with Google Cloud.
Why it matters: This is a great partnership from many angles. One is that Musk is taking an “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” approach – helping patch the glaring computing flaw of OAI’s biggest competitor. Another is SpaceXAI (Apparently new name), moving into providing computing to competitors while continuing to push for Grok to be closer to the frontier.

Rundown: Pricing AI products means making a series of interconnected decisions – how to charge, how to match prices to value, and how to adapt to costs and market change. Stripe’s new framework outlines 5 steps for pricing AI products.
In this guide, you will learn:
-
How AI leaders like Anthropic, Clay, and Vercel handle their pricing

Steps to choose a pricing model that balances ease of user adoption and recurring revenue
Elon Musk vs. Aubinay’s trial
Rundown: Mira Moratti, former CTO at OpenAI to attest Wednesday via video deposition in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing CEO Sam Altman of lying about the model’s safety review, undermining her authority, and pitting executives against each other.
-
Moratti said Altman told her OAI legal team about a form approval to skip a safety review, which she later verified with attorney Jason Kwon was false.
-
She also described Altman giving conflicting directions to various executives, making her role as CTO more difficult and creating chaos across OAI’s leadership.
-
Moratti briefly became interim CEO during Altman’s 2023 dismissal, but said the board process put OpenAI “at risk of collapse.”
-
Former OAI board member Helen Toner also to attestShe reportedly criticized Moratti, calling her “afraid to stick her neck out” and fearing “the negative reaction to her career.”
Why it matters: The boardroom drama of 2023 is a saga that will never end, and Moratti’s testimony is a powerful voice in support of Musk’s argument that Altman and co. Untrustworthy. But whether this ultimately means anything related to Musk’s claims that Altman and Brockman were “trying to rip off a charity” in 2017 is up to a jury to decide.
Artificial intelligence training
Rundown: In this guide, you’ll learn how to use Claude Design to turn your raw data into a useful strategy set complete with real-time insights. Cloud Design analyzes what works and provides specific recommendations your team can use.
-
Start with a single CSV file or spreadsheet containing a messy report (YT channel data, Facebook ads, etc.) and define what the group should do (e.g. look for patterns)
-
Open claude.ai/design, choose your slide deck, go over the design system, switch between speaker notes, and upload your data
-
Prompt: “Turn these files into a performance strategy deck. Analyze results by item and extract best practices from data and assets. Use charts, labels, and concrete recommendations. Match images or creative files to a CSV file using the matching file name or field. Have it ready for presentation.”
-
The generation will take 10-15 minutes. You can export to PowerPoint or Google Slides when ready
Pro Tip: Duplicate the project and load more data sources for Claude to incorporate into the presentation.

Rundown: Most leaders know that AI will reshape their businesses, but few have a clear guide on how to do it. IBM Business Value Institute analysis reveals 5 plays CEOs must implement now to capture gains by 2030.
To lead in the AI-first landscape, the CEOs surveyed suggest the following:
-
Customize your AI mix, not just your AI models
-
Hire a Chief AI Officer if you haven’t already
-
Coordination of intelligence – artificial and human

Rundown: Google DeepMind I snapped A minority stake in Fenris Creations, a gaming studio spun out from CCP Games, which makes the popular EVE Online game – with DeepMind set to use the 23-year-old space game as a sandbox for AI research.
-
EVE Online has run for two decades on a single server where players form companies, set market prices, and fire up six-figure fleets in all-day battles.
-
DeepMind’s investment will come with running an AI agent on an offline version of EVE, testing how models think over long timelines, retain memory, and learn.
-
Demis Hassabis noted that Atari DQN, AlphaGo, AlphaStar and SIMA won the DeepMind game, calling games the “perfect training ground” for AI algorithms.
-
CEO Fenris described EVE as “one of the few environments” in which intelligence can be tested “within something that actually behaves like a living world.”
Why it matters: DeepMind has been here before with Go, Atari, StarCraft, and SIMA, but EVE is no match to beat as far as a living, evolving 23-year-old community can understand it. This makes the Fenris deal a natural next step in the shift from game-playing AI to agents that can operate within less predictable real-life systems.

In each newsletter we show how the reader is using AI to work smarter, save time or make life easier.
Today’s workflow comes from the reader unknown:
“I’m recovering from a torn ACL and my physiotherapist films all my exercises and sends me videos on WhatsApp, narrating sets/reps and notes on how to do the exercise correctly.
I uploaded the videos to Gemini and asked him to create a prompt for Claude Code, who used an app I now use to track sets, reps, and weights from recent workouts and notes over several months. I can then export this data to a .csv file for my physiotherapist before we communicate again with each other.”
