Meta
Meta Considers Leasing Excess AI Capacity to Anthropic for $10 Billion
Meta is considering a major AI business: leasing data-center computing power to Anthropic for up to $10 billion over two years, monetizing spare capacity and easing investor concerns over its infrastructure spending.
Details:
Anthropic proposed the deal in June, with monthly payments and early-exit options for both sides. Talks remain preliminary, may fail, and both companies declined to comment
The proposal is about one-third of Anthropic’s $45 billion, three-year SpaceX compute deal. Surging Claude Code demand is pushing the nearly $1 trillion IPO-bound company to secure capacity
Meta may spend $145 billion this year, up from $72 billion, and admits it could overbuild. It also rents compute through $21 billion CoreWeave and $27 billion Nebius deals as prices surge
A deal could turn Meta’s overbuilding risk into revenue and prove that scarce computing power is becoming one of AI’s most valuable assets.

SpaceX
Pentagon Could Choose SpaceX for Its Expanding AI Compute Needs
SpaceX is negotiating a potentially multibillion-dollar deal to supply the Pentagon with data center capacity to run AI models, pushing Elon Musk’s company deeper into defense and cloud computing market.
Details:
The talks are ongoing. It would expand SpaceX’s Pentagon role beyond launches, satellite communications and missile tracking into compute for military and intelligence AI
SpaceX wants to sell lower-priced AI compute and challenge neocloud firms like CoreWeave. It already supplies Google with 110,000 Nvidia chips through a multi-year cloud agreement
Anthropic also uses the full 300-megawatt capacity of SpaceX’s Colossus 1 facility in Memphis. The Pentagon is adding more cloud capacity and many providers to avoid dependency
No deal is final, and neither side commented. But the talks show SpaceX shifting from launches and satellites into a major AI infrastructure provider.

How to Make a Phone-Based AI Assistant That Answers Your Calls
Ever wanted an AI assistant you can actually call? In this tutorial, you’ll build one with its own phone number using ElevenLabs and Twilio, make a real test call, and have it answer using your website, calendar, and more.
Create voice agent
In ElevenLabs, go to Agents → New Agent → Personal Assistant. Choose a voice, set your time zone, and add your first greeting message.
Example first message:
“Hi, this is your assistant. Tell me what you need and I’ll help you.”Add knowledge sources
Inside the agent settings, connect the information you want the assistant to use:
Your website
Your calendar
Set assistant’s behavior
Add a short instruction so it stays helpful and accurate.
Example instruction:
“Answer using my website and calendar. If you’re unsure, ask one question. Don’t guess.”Create Twilio account
Go to Twilio and create an account. You should have complimentary credits to test.
Buy Twilio phone number
In Twilio, buy a phone number (typically around $1). From the dashboard, copy these:
Phone number
Account SID
Auth Token
Import number into ElevenLabs
In ElevenLabs, go to Phone Numbers → Import from Twilio. Paste your SID, auth token, and phone number, then assign the number to your agent.
Call and test it
Call the number and test a few real questions like “What’s on my calendar?” or “What do we offer?” based on what you added to the agent’s knowledge base.
Note: Add the most useful pages from your website, not everything. Too much info can make answers messy.
