Description
Description | Elon Musk's xAI is expanding its Colossus supercomputer cluster by acquiring a third building named 'MACROHARDRR' in Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, Tennessee. This expansion aims to increase AI training capacity to nearly 2 gigawatts of power and potentially house up to 1 million GPUs. The new facility is expected to be converted into a data center by 2026 and is supported by a nearby natural gas power plant to meet its massive energy demands. This strategic move positions xAI to outpace competitors like OpenAI, Google, and Meta in AI compute power. |
