Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI is planning to build a supercomputer, dubbed the 'Gigafactory of Compute,' which will link 100,000 specialized GPUs, including Nvidia H100 chips. This project aims to create a supercomputer at least four times larger than the biggest AI clusters today. The supercomputer will be used to power the next versions of xAI's AI, Grok. The initiative is expected to be operational by fall 2025 and will require billions in investment and significant power resources. xAI may partner with Oracle to develop this massive computing infrastructure, which could catapult xAI ahead of AI giants like OpenAI and Google DeepMind by the end of 2024.
