Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX

Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX

Claude 使用限额提升及与 SpaceX 达成算力合作

May 6, 2026 2026 年 5 月 6 日

We’ve agreed to a partnership with SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API. Below, we describe these changes and the progress we’re making on compute. 我们已与 SpaceX 达成合作伙伴关系,这将大幅提升我们的算力。结合近期达成的其他算力协议,我们得以提高了 Claude Code 和 Claude API 的使用限额。以下我们将详细介绍这些变化以及我们在算力方面取得的进展。

Higher usage limits

更高的使用限额

The following three changes—all effective today—are aimed at improving the experience of using Claude for our most dedicated customers. 以下三项变更均于今日生效,旨在为我们最忠实的用户提升 Claude 的使用体验。

First, we’re doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. 首先,我们将 Pro、Max、Team 以及基于席位的企业版计划中 Claude Code 的五小时速率限制提高了一倍。

Second, we’re removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max accounts. 其次,我们取消了 Pro 和 Max 账户在高峰时段对 Claude Code 的限额缩减。

Third, we’re raising our API rate limits considerably for Claude Opus models, as shown in the table below: 第三,我们大幅提高了 Claude Opus 模型的 API 速率限制,具体如下表所示:

New compute partnership with SpaceX

与 SpaceX 的全新算力合作

We’ve signed an agreement with SpaceX to use all of the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center. This gives us access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity (over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs) within the month. This additional capacity will directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers. 我们已与 SpaceX 签署协议,将使用其 Colossus 1 数据中心的全部算力。这意味着我们在本月内即可获得超过 300 兆瓦的新增算力(超过 22 万颗 NVIDIA GPU)。这些额外算力将直接提升 Claude Pro 和 Claude Max 订阅用户的服务容量。

This joins our other significant compute announcements: 此举加入了我们近期宣布的其他重要算力计划:

  • An up to 5 gigawatt (GW) agreement with Amazon, which includes nearly 1 GW of new capacity by the end of 2026; 与亚马逊达成最高 5 吉瓦(GW)的协议,其中包括在 2026 年底前新增近 1 吉瓦的算力;
  • A 5 GW agreement with Google and Broadcom, which will begin coming online in 2027; 与谷歌和博通达成 5 吉瓦的协议,将于 2027 年开始投入使用;
  • A strategic partnership with Microsoft and NVIDIA that includes $30 billion of Azure capacity; 与微软和 NVIDIA 达成战略合作伙伴关系,其中包括 300 亿美元的 Azure 算力;
  • Our $50 billion investment in American AI infrastructure with Fluidstack. 我们与 Fluidstack 在美国人工智能基础设施领域投入的 500 亿美元投资。

We train and run Claude on a range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—and continue to explore opportunities to bring additional capacity online. 我们利用多种 AI 硬件(AWS Trainium、Google TPU 和 NVIDIA GPU)来训练和运行 Claude,并持续探索上线更多算力的机会。

As part of this agreement, we have also expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity. 作为协议的一部分,我们也表达了与 SpaceX 合作开发数吉瓦轨道 AI 算力的意向。

Expanding internationally

国际化扩张

Our enterprise customers—particularly those in regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government—increasingly need in-region infrastructure to meet compliance and data residency requirements. Accordingly, some of our capacity expansion will be international: our recently announced collaboration with Amazon includes additional inference in Asia and Europe. 我们的企业客户——尤其是金融服务、医疗保健和政府等受监管行业的客户——越来越需要区域内基础设施来满足合规性和数据驻留要求。因此,我们的部分算力扩张将面向国际:我们近期宣布与亚马逊的合作就包括在亚洲和欧洲增加推理算力。

We’re very intentional about where we’ll add capacity—partnering with democratic countries whose legal and regulatory frameworks support investments of this scale, and where the supply chain on which our compute depends—hardware, networking, and facilities—will be secure. 我们在选择增加算力的地点时非常审慎——我们倾向于与那些法律和监管框架支持此类规模投资的民主国家合作,并确保我们算力所依赖的供应链(硬件、网络和设施)是安全的。

Finally, we recently made a commitment to cover any consumer electricity price increases caused by our data centers in the US. As part of our international expansion, we’re exploring ways to extend that commitment to new jurisdictions, as well as partnering with local leaders to invest back into the communities that host our facilities. 最后,我们近期承诺将承担因我们在美数据中心运营而导致的任何消费者电价上涨。作为国际扩张的一部分,我们正在探索将这一承诺扩展到新的司法管辖区,并与当地领导人合作,回馈那些承载我们设施的社区。
