Billionaire Elon Musk’s xAI artificial intelligence company has unveiled the Colossus supercomputer, ushering in a new era of unparalleled AI capabilities. With 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs, Colossus is now the world’s most powerful AI training system. This remarkable achievement was accomplished in just 122 days, culminating in the operational launch of Colossus in Memphis, USA. Scheduled to upgrade to the GROK 3 version in December, Colossus will further enhance its already impressive performance.
xAI plans to bolster Colossus with an additional 50,000 H200 GPUs, effectively doubling its computational prowess. This massive computing power will serve as a crucial foundation for xAI in its quest to develop cutting-edge AI models, ultimately aiming to establish the most powerful AI in the world.
NVIDIA has extended its congratulations to the xAI team for this groundbreaking achievement. As the sole supercomputer with 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs, Colossus has surpassed industry giants like Google AI and OpenAI, positioning xAI as a formidable force in the AI landscape. However, the unprecedented capabilities of Colossus also raise concerns about the ethical and safety implications of such advanced AI technology.
