Musk's xAI Data Center Achieves Major Milestone With Nvidia Chips

According to BlockBeats, on September 28, sources revealed that Elon Musk's new xAI data center in Memphis reached a significant milestone this week, with all 100,000 advanced Nvidia chips coming online simultaneously. This achievement has led to the data center being nicknamed 'Colossus,' making it the most powerful known computer. It represents a crucial technological advancement for xAI, a relatively young company that managed to bring this massive facility into operation in less than six months. Despite Musk's claims on Twitter that the facility is the largest in the world, industry experts have raised doubts about whether xAI possesses the necessary energy and technical capabilities to run such a large number of GPUs—specifically Nvidia's H100 chips—in parallel. xAI is utilizing this data center to train AI models that support Grok, the company's chatbot, which is described as an uncensored version of ChatGPT.
