Elon Musk’s xAI Supercomputer to Enhance Grok

Elon Musk announced at the investor meeting that he will use a supercomputer to further develop the Grok artificial intelligence tool.

Like every company, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI holds investor meetings from time to time to explain its future plans to investors. The eccentric billionaire added a new assertive statement to his repertoire at these meetings. Musk stated that xAI plans to start working on its own supercomputer by the end of 2025.

These supercomputers, which Musk describes as “the gigafactory of computers” (akin to Tesla’s gigantic factories), will be built with NVIDIA H100 GPUs and will cost billions of dollars. Musk previously announced that they would use at least 100,000 chips for the third generation of Grok. Considering that the number of chips used for Grok 2.0 is 20,000, the magnitude of this breakthrough becomes even clearer.


It will at least quadruple its competitors

According to The Information, Musk stated in his presentation to investors that the planned GPU stack will be at least four times larger than the systems used by companies developing competing artificial intelligence tools. It is worth noting that xAI’s artificial intelligence tool, Grok, is currently at version 1.5 and is in the process of learning how to process visual data.

The competition in the field of artificial intelligence continues to intensify. Elon Musk’s influence on supercomputers and artificial intelligence could potentially shape the industry, much like his impact on the automotive sector through Tesla. Only time will tell if this will be the case.
