Elon Musk, the man behind companies like Tesla and SpaceX, recently shared plans for his artificial intelligence startup, xAI.
According to a report by The Information, Musk told investors that xAI is gearing up to make a supercomputer.
This advanced machine will power the next iteration of its AI chatbot, Grok. Musk's goal is to have this supercomputer operational by the fall of 2025.
Musk mentioned that xAI is considering a partnership with Oracle to help develop this massive supercomputer.
However, when reached for comments, neither xAI nor Oracle provided any immediate responses. The supercomputer, once built, will consist of interconnected groups of Nvidia’s top-of-the-line H100 graphics processing units (GPUs).
These GPU clusters will be significantly larger than any currently in existence, at least four times the size, according to Musk’s presentation to investors in May.
The choice of Nvidia H100 GPUs is noteworthy because these chips are the leading choice for AI-related tasks in data centers. They are highly sought after due to their superior performance, which has led to a situation where they are often difficult to obtain because of high demand.
Nvidia’s dominance in this market underscores the significance of Musk’s decision to use their technology for his supercomputer project.
