马斯克表示，xAI将继续从英伟达、AMD等公司购买GPU，用于训练和运行其AI聊天机器人Grok。xAI计划在孟菲斯建立一个拥有100万个GPU的设施，该数据中心名为Colossus。目前Colossus已经拥有超过20万个GPU，是世界上最强大的训练集群。此外，xAI还在寻找新的数据中心，并计划大幅增加英伟达芯片的采用，据报道，xAI曾接近与戴尔达成协议，购买价值50亿美元的芯片服务器，这些服务器搭载英伟达最先进的GPU Blackwell GB200s。

💰xAI曾接近与戴尔达成一项价值50亿美元的交易，购买搭载英伟达最先进的GPU Blackwell GB200s的芯片服务器，表明xAI对高性能计算资源的巨大需求和对英伟达技术的依赖。

🏢xAI在孟菲斯购买了一个100万平方英尺的仓库，可能用于容纳35万个芯片，但具体芯片类型尚未明确，显示了xAI在硬件设施上的大规模扩张。

Musk expected xAI would continue to buy graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), and possibly other companies to train and run its AI-powered chatbot Grok, according to an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. “As long as Nvidia is better than what we make, we’ll keep buying from Nvidia,” Musk said.

Such purchase came as xAI is planning a 1 million GPU facility outside Memphis, where the AI startup has built a data center called Colossus, Tesla CEO said.

Musk cited his prediction a few years ago that the limitation on AI will be chips, though didn’t tell how many GPUs xAI has ordered and the timetable of the installation.

Musk in July last year touted opening of “the most powerful AI training cluster in the world” at xAI’s Memphis Supercluster. The facility housed 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs connecting with a single remote direct memory access, or RDMA, fabric. At the start of this month, the Greater Memphis Chamber announced the first phase of the facility reached full operational capacity with 200,000 GPUs.

Musk on Tuesday claimed Colossus is currently the most powerful training cluster in the world with “over 200,000 GPUs training coherently.”

It is unclear the planned xAI facility Musk mentioned is the reported second AI data center in Memphis.

XAI is said to look for a new data center as it plans to substantially increase adption of Nvidia chips, The Information reported in Febuary. xAI neared a deal with Dell Technologies to buy $5 billion worth of chip servers housing Nvidia’s most advanced GPUs, Blackwell GB200s, Bloomberg reported the same month.

Brent Mayo, an xAI manager working on Colossus, in March told the Daily Memphian that xAI purchased a 1 million-square-foot warehouse in the city, Tennessee. The new building could house 350,000 chips, the manager said, not specifying which king of chips.
