# Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX

# Claim

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.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section four: enterprise deployment evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is useful evidence because it moves AI from demo space into an actual organisational workflow. Treat it as a displacement-pressure signal where the near-term effect is task compression, supervision thinning, and fewer handoffs.
