1Elon Musk's xAI Supercomputer: Powering Next-Gen Grok with NVIDIA GPUs
Elon Musk's xAI is making waves with its ambitious plan to build a colossal supercomputer, dubbed the "gigafactory of compute." This cutting-edge system, slated for completion by fall 2025, aims to revolutionize the capabilities of xAI's Grok chatbot, propelling it into a smarter, more advanced iteration.
Powered by tens of thousands of NVIDIA H100 GPUs, this supercomputer represents a substantial investment, with a projected cost running into billions of dollars. Musk has previously stated that the third version of Grok will require at least 100,000 of these cutting-edge chips, a fivefold increase from the 20,000 GPUs reportedly utilized for training Grok 2.0.
According to The Information, Musk told investors during a recent presentation that the planned GPU cluster would be at least four times the size of anything currently employed by xAI's competitors. This unprecedented scale is expected to provide Grok with unprecedented computational power, enabling it to tackle complex tasks and process vast amounts of data with unparalleled efficiency.
Grok is currently in version 1.5, released in April, and boasts the ability to process visual information like photographs and diagrams alongside text. xAI recently began rolling out AI-generated news summaries powered by Grok for its premium users, offering a glimpse into the chatbot's potential.
