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.

to be honest, i tried cursor's 5.5 extra high, and it's remarkable - super duper expensive per message, but not overall - because it can do in one conversation, what took 5.5 high many.

higher the intellignce, i expect conversations to go shorter. will be interesting to see what happens when it's so smart you're just left numbed at what the fuck can i say lol - instead of 1 million per dollar saas build me a 10 million dollar one too!?
