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.

NEWS: Microsoft, Google, and Elon Musk's xAI have agreed to provide the U.S. government with early access to new AI models for national security testing, following growing concerns over the hacking capabilities of advanced systems like Anthropic's Mythos. The agreement allows the Department of Commerce's Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) to evaluate models for security risks and unexpected behaviors before they are widely deployed to the public. This move expands on previous agreements with OpenAI and Anthropic to establish a framework for vetting frontier AI models for national security implications. CAISI Director Chris Fall stated that independent, rigorous measurement science is essential to understanding the implications of frontier AI. The center has already completed over 40 evaluations, including testing on state-of-the-art models that have not yet been released to the public. https://t.co/CFbJXM5BU5

NEWS: xAI has launched a "Custom Voices" feature that allows users to clone a voice from a 120-second audio sample, enabling the creation of usable voice clones for use across the company's text-to-speech and voice agent APIs. The feature includes several key capabilities: Voice Cloning: Users can create a custom voice from a single reference clip up to 120 seconds long. Security: A two-step verification process uses a passphrase and voice characteristic comparison to prevent unauthorized cloning. Integration: Cloned voices can be used across all voice APIs, including the "Grok Voice Think Fast 1.0" model used for Starlink support. Voice Library: The xAI console includes over 80 preinstalled voices across 28 languages. The feature is currently available in the United States, with the exception of Illinois. https://t.co/rXQu9eClE0

People want notes fast. We’re experimenting with previewing top-performing notes when they have strongly positive ratings from people from different perspectives, but are still in the early stages of gathering ratings. Now available to a limited group in the US. We’ll shape it with your feedback. Details in the Guide: https://t.co/PlpTud6EPX

NEWS: SpaceX has issued a new Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) for the Starbase area in Texas, running from May 4th to May 18th to accommodate the second static fire campaign for the Super Heavy booster. https://t.co/ltTA0l6HjX

NEWS: FCC modernizes satellite spectrum sharing rules in major boost for Starlink. The FCC voted today to replace the decades-old Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) framework. It was designed for theoretical 1990s tech. They switched to modern performance-based GSO protection criteria. The new rules take full advantage of current satellite technology like adaptive coding and modulation. This change is expected to deliver: - Faster speeds and lower latency - Up to 7x more capacity for space-based broadband - Over $2 billion in new economic benefits - Much better high-speed internet in rural and remote areas The old EPFD limits had been holding back Starlink and other NGSO systems. Regulations have finally caught up to today’s satellite realities.

NEWS: SpaceX’s board has approved Elon Musk’s new compensation package - 200 million super-voting shares if they hit a $7.5 trillion valuation and establish a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people - Another ~60 million shares if they operate data centers in space delivering 100 terawatts of compute (that’s the equivalent of 100,000 nuclear reactors) https://t.co/l7ip8WsMkR

NEWS: Metascape, an IoT connectivity platform for enterprise device fleets, has launched a unified service covering 190+ countries, combining eSIM, private 5G, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, zero-trust security, and automated Starlink failover under one contract. The platform is aimed at companies managing large device deployments across regions, where connectivity can require up to 12 separate vendors. Starlink is positioned as the satellite backup layer when terrestrial coverage drops. https://t.co/PpWlMASp1G

NEWS: Google has signed a classified deal with the US Department of Defense to provide AI models for lawful government purposes, joining OpenAI and xAI in a move that follows the blacklisting of Anthropic from federal use. The agreement, according to The Information, allows the Pentagon to use Google's models for various government purposes but does not grant the company veto power over operational decisions. https://t.co/EdtvuFXQLE

NEWS: T-Mobile launched SuperBroadBand for businesses, combining T-Mobile 5G Advanced with Starlink broadband for redundant connectivity. The company says the managed service reaches every U.S. ZIP code, comes through one contract and one bill, and includes defined service levels plus a financially backed 99.99% uptime guarantee. Aramark Destinations is already using it for remote and complex hospitality locations. https://t.co/mgzekas6po
