Elon Musk is seemingly determined to dominate the artificial intelligence landscape. According to the Financial Times, his xAI startup plans a massive upgrade to its already cutting-edge Colossus AI supercomputer.
Launched in September, Colossus currently boasts 100,000 NVIDIA HGX H100 GPUs, specifically designed for AI tasks, making it unmatched globally. This supercomputer powers the training of models behind xAI's chatbot, Grok, and likely other AI projects.
To accelerate training and develop even more advanced neural networks, Musk aims to increase the number of GPUs tenfold, to a staggering one million. xAI has reportedly secured support from NVIDIA, Dell, and Supermicro, and the scaling process is already underway.
This news comes amidst Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, a company he co-founded. He had aspired to lead OpenAI but is now attempting to prevent the ChatGPT developers from restructuring into a for-profit entity.
