Elon Musk named rival Anthropic the current leader in AI, specifically praising its Mythos/Fable model as the best available. Musk admitted on the X platform that he was clearly wrong about the company, reversing his previous public criticisms.
Musk pledged to maintain Anthropic's access to critical infrastructure despite their direct competition. Anthropic currently pays Musk’s xAI $1.25 billion per month for access to AI supercomputing resources.
The partnership could be worth more than $40 billion over its duration. This agreement highlights a shifting industry trend where AI firms sell essential compute power to their primary rivals.
