Elon Musk's xAI is set to expand its supercomputer, 'Colossus,' to over one million GPUs, aiming to compete with generative AI leaders like OpenAI. The supercomputer, currently equipped with 100,000 Nvidia GPUs, is designed to enhance the capabilities of xAI's chatbot, Grok. This expansion is supported by Nvidia, Dell, and Supermicro Computer, which will establish operations in Memphis to facilitate the growth of xAI's AI infrastructure.
Nvidia's CEO praised Musk's engineering prowess, highlighting the challenges of scaling GPU clusters, particularly regarding energy resources. The political landscape is shifting as Donald Trump prepares to take office again, with potential implications for AI regulation and development. Trump's administration may repeal Biden's executive order on AI, which could reshape the future of AI governance in the U.S.
