May 28 (Reuters) – SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday the ​IPO-bound company had only ‌agreed to lease its Colossus AI training data center clusters ​to Anthropic for six ​months, not multiple years as ⁠previously suggested.

“SpaceX has not committed ​to leasing Colossus for ​years, although it’s possible that may be what happens,” Musk said in ​a post on X.

He ​added that the agreement is a ‌180-day ⁠lease with a mutual 90-day cancellation notice thereafter.

“The short term was our request, not ​Anthropic’s. ​We ⁠won’t leave them hanging and will provide a ​reasonable off-ramp, but ​if ⁠compute gets super tight I said we might need it ⁠back ​at some ​point,” he said.
