\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning, {{ first_name | AI enthusiasts }}. Just months ago, Elon Musk was posting that Anthropic \u201chates Western Civilization\u201d and should be renamed \u201cMisanthropic\u201d. Now, he\u2019s renting them his entire Colossus 1 compute cluster.<\/p>\n

The new deal pulls off three things at once: patching Claude’s compute problems, hurting Musk’s nemesis OAI by feeding its biggest rival, and signaling a new compute-landlord business for SpaceXAI\u00a0even as Grok keeps chasing the frontier.<\/p>\n

ANTHROPIC & SPACEX<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Rundown: Anthropic just signed<\/a> a deal with SpaceX to lease its Colossus 1, raising Claude usage and putting Musk and Anthropic on one team months after he said<\/a> that Anthropic should be called \u201cMisanthropic\u201d and it “hates Western Civilization.”<\/p>\n

Anthropic will lease all of Colossus 1, a 300+ MW Memphis supercluster, with more than 220K Nvidia GPUs coming online within the month.<\/p>\n

Anthropic said Claude Code\u2019s 5-hour usage caps are now doubling across paid tiers, with additional increases via API and no more peak-hour restrictions.<\/p>\n

Musk replied<\/a> on X that SpaceX will rent compute to \u201cAI companies that are taking the right steps to ensure it is good for humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Information also reported<\/a> yesterday that Anthropic is committing to a $200B, 5 GW compute deal over the next five years with Google Cloud.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: This is a fascinating partnership from several angles. One being Musk taking the \u2018enemy of my enemy is my friend\u2019 approach \u2014 helping patch OAI\u2019s biggest rival\u2019s glaring compute hole. Another is SpaceXAI (apparently<\/a> the new name), moving to providing compute for rivals while still pushing to get Grok near the frontier.<\/p>\n

ELON MUSK VS. OPENAI TRIAL <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Rundown: Ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati testified<\/a> Wednesday via video deposition in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing CEO Sam Altman of lying about a model’s safety review, undermining her authority, and pitting execs against one another.<\/p>\n

Murati said Altman told her OAI’s legal team cleared a model to skip safety review, which she later verified with counsel Jason Kwon was false.<\/p>\n

She also described Altman giving conflicting directions to different execs, making her role as CTO harder and creating chaos across OAI’s leadership.<\/p>\n

Murati briefly became interim CEO during Altman\u2019s 2023 firing, but said the board process put OpenAI \u201cat risk of falling apart.\u201d <\/p>\n

Former OAI board member Helen Toner also testified<\/a>, reportedly criticizing Murati as \u201cafraid to stick her neck out\u201d and scared of \u201cblowback for her career\u201d. <\/p>\n

Why it matters: The 2023 board drama is the saga that will never conclude, and Murati\u2019s testimony is a powerful voice to aid Musk\u2019s argument that Altman and co. are untrustworthy. But whether that ultimately means anything related to Musk\u2019s claims of Altman and Brockman \u201ctrying to steal a charity\u201d in 2017 is up for the jury to decide. <\/p>\n

AI TRAINING<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rundown: In this guide, you will learn how to use Claude Design to turn your raw data into a useful strategy deck complete with actual insights. Claude Design analyzes what is working and gives concrete recommendations your team can use.<\/p>\n

Start with one CSV or spreadsheet with a messy report (YT channel data, Facebook ads, etc.) and decide what the deck needs to do (like find patterns)<\/p>\n

Open claude.ai\/design, choose Slide deck, skip the design system, toggle on speaker notes, and upload your data<\/p>\n

Prompt: \u201cTurn these files into a strategy deck on performance. Analyze the results by item and extract best practices from the data and assets. Use charts, rankings, and concrete recommendations. Match images or creative files to CSV using the filename or matching field. Keep it presentation-ready\u201d<\/p>\n

Generation will take 10-15 minutes. You can export to PowerPoint or Google Slides when it’s ready<\/p>\n

Pro tip:\u00a0Duplicate the project and upload more data sources for Claude to incorporate into the presentation.<\/p>\n

GOOGLE DEEPMIND<\/p>\n

The Rundown: Google DeepMind picked up<\/a> a minority stake in Fenris Creations, a game studio spinoff from CCP Games, which makes the popular EVE Online \u2014 with DeepMind set to use the 23-year-old space game as a sandbox for AI research.<\/p>\n

EVE Online has run for two decades on a single server where players form corporations, set market prices, and torch six-figure fleets in day-long battles.<\/p>\n

DeepMind’s investment will come with AI agent runs on an offline EVE clone, testing how models reason over long timelines, retain memory, and learn.<\/p>\n

Demis Hassabis cited Atari DQN, AlphaGo, AlphaStar, and SIMA as game-bred DeepMind wins, calling games \u201cthe perfect training ground\u201d for AI algorithms. <\/p>\n

Fenris\u2019 CEO pitched EVE as \u201cone of the few environments\u201d where intelligence can be tested \u201cinside something that already behaves like a living world\u201d.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: DeepMind has been here before with Go, Atari, StarCraft, and SIMA, but EVE is not a match to win as much as a 23-year-old living, evolving society to understand. That makes the Fenris deal a natural next step in the shift from game-playing AI to agents that can operate inside less predictable real-life systems.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s workflow comes from reader Anonymous:<\/p>\n

“I’m recovering from a torn ACL, and my physiotherapist films all of my exercises and sends the videos to me on WhatsApp, narrating the sets\/reps and notes on how to perform the exercise properly. <\/p>\n

I uploaded the videos into Gemini and got it to build a prompt for Claude Code, which one-shotted an app that I now use to track sets, reps, weights from last workouts, notes, over multiple months. I can then export this data into a .csv for my physio before we check back in with each other.”<\/p>\n
