SpaceX CEO Elon Musk clarified Thursday that his IPO-bound company has only committed to a six-month lease arrangement for its Colossus AI training facility with Anthropic, contradicting earlier reports that suggested a multi-year agreement.<\/p>

“SpaceX has not committed to leasing Colossus for years, although it’s possible that may be what happens,” Musk wrote in a post on X.<\/p>

The tech billionaire explained that the current arrangement is structured as a 180-day lease, with both parties able to provide 90-day cancellation notice following that initial period.<\/p>

“The short term was our request, not Anthropic’s. We won’t leave them hanging and will provide a reasonable off-ramp, but if compute gets super tight I said we might need it back at some point,” he stated.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
