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

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Elon Musk publicly praised Anthropic and its Mythos/Fable models on X, walking back his earlier dismissal of the company. Anthropic signed a $40 billion deal to use xAI's Colossus 1 data center compute through May 2029, paying $1.25 billion per month. Musk pledged not to cut off Anthropic's infrastructure access, citing his track record with Tesla patents and SpaceX's Supercharger network. The article notes that contractual obligations and mutual financial incentives provide stronger guarantees than Musk's word alone. It also raises the question of whether hosting Anthropic's compute could give SpaceX unusual visibility into a competitor's operations, referencing Musk's own acknowledgment that AI distillation between companies is common practice.
