Anthropic raises Claude Code usage limits, credits new deal with SpaceX

Meanwhile, the independent generative AI vendor expanded usage limits and reduced subscriber usage restrictions for big customers.

Save to Spotify is a new command-line tool designed specifically for AI agents like OpenClaw, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex. If you're the kind of person who collects research on a topic, then feeds it through their AI of choice to create audio summaries and personal podcasts, this lets you save them right alongside the latest episode of The Vergecast and Welcome to Night Vale on Spotify. To set it up, you need to download and install the Save to Spotify CLI from GitHub. Then you just prompt your AI agent as normal, but tack on "and save to Spotify," and it should show up right in your podcast feed. In the blog post announcing the feature, S … Read the full story at The Verge.

Elon Musk’s AI ambitions are converging on multiple fronts simultaneously. SpaceX is considering spending up to $119 billion on a semiconductor facility in Grimes County, Texas, dubbed “Terafab” — a vertically integrated chip manufacturing complex developed alongside Tesla and Intel. The facility is intended to produce chips for AI servers, satellites, autonomous vehicles, and SpaceX’s proposed orbital […]

MRC (Multipath Reliable Connection) is a new open networking protocol developed by OpenAI in partnership with AMD, Broadcom, Intel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA that improves GPU networking performance and resilience in large-scale AI training clusters by spreading packets across hundreds of paths simultaneously, recovering from network failures in microseconds, and enabling supercomputers with over 100,000 GPUs to be built using only two tiers of Ethernet switches. The post OpenAI Introduces MRC (Multipath Reliable Connection): A New Open Networking Protocol for Large-Scale AI Supercomputer Training Clusters appeared first on MarkTechPost.

Partnership between top startup DeepL and Amazon comes amid concern about Silicon Valley’s monopoly over digital infrastructure AI companies in Europe risk losing their world-leading status in the field of machine translation, industry figures have said, after the decision by one of the continent’s leading startups to partner with Amazon’s cloud computing division provoked alarm. While businesses in the EU have generally lagged behind the US and China in AI adoption, a small group of European companies have cornered the global market for high-quality machine translations for professional use.

The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI), a division of the US Department of Commerce, has signed agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI that would give the agency the ability to vet AI models from these organizations and others prior to their being made publicly available. According to a release from CAISI, which is part of the department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it will “conduct pre-deployment evaluations and targeted research to better assess frontier AI capabilities and advance the state of AI security.” The three join Anthropic and OpenAI, which signed similar agreements almost two years ago during the Biden administration, when CAISI was known as the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute. An August 2024 release about those agreements indicated that the institute planned to provide feedback to both companies on “potential safety improvements to their models, in close collaboration with its partners at the UK AI Safety In

The chief executive, Dario Amodei, said the rapid growth had exponentially increased the start-up’s need for more computing power.
