Elon Musk praises Mythos/Fable, promises not to ‘cut off’ Anthropic

TechCrunch
Elon Musk publicly praised Anthropic and promised to maintain their compute partnership, dismissing concerns that he would unfairly restrict his AI rival.

Summary

Elon Musk has expressed admiration for Anthropic, specifically praising their Mythos/Fable model, and explicitly stated he would not unfairly cut off the company's access to SpaceX compute infrastructure. Despite their history as competitors, Anthropic has become a major client for SpaceX's xAI unit, with a multi-year deal worth billions. While Musk emphasizes that such exclusionary tactics are not his style, citing past open-technology initiatives at Tesla and SpaceX, the arrangement raises questions about potential data access, given Musk's previous comments on AI distilling. However, the deal remains highly lucrative for SpaceX, providing both significant revenue and technical insight.
