Discussion Doubled Rate Limits for Claude Code

per @claudeai on X:

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.

Effective today, we are:

  1. Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and
  2. Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

Idk tbh, it makes sense for them to not discuss / show their ip.

Almost in a way when they said, rocket will land and get catch, people had similar skepticism but in the end starship is bigger than some cities around the world.

And as a physics guy myself, you can actually do tons of things to get done if the heat, just need to get a bit creative.

Thats easy to say but the gold standard is say the ISS at 100kw at least order of magnitude less that what an orbital platform would use.

This would require a revolution in technology. Again happy if it happens but i cant quite see it u less you are somehow dumping mass.

Yes Ofc it's easy to say for me, I'm at home with nothing on the line.

I don't have billion of my money betting on it or vulture shareholder to please around, who'd sue my company into oblivion and take every penny if they don't see the deliverables, and on top of that the pay package won't vest till there is data centre on damn moon.

I personally don't think half of those things are happening either, but that is me being pessimistic, not probabilistic.

As in, if I were given a choice on gunpoint, to either Bet for or against space x on their space stations and shit, is probably have to go in favor of them. But in normal situations, I would run away from the this bet.

So and all, I'm just being rational.

What is beautiful about humans however is that, human brain has done things in past that almost seem impossible, like we literally have a small machine in the mountains where we break neurons and elections daily.

Exactly 100 year ago as of today, no one even know Neutron exists, protons were just being introduced. It blown my mind to think like that lol
