In recent move, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has just unveiled “Colossus,” AI supercomputer that’s set to shake up the tech world.
100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs working together in perfect harmony, creating what Musk calls the “most powerful” AI cluster on the planet and they built it in just 122 days!
This weekend, the @xAI team brought our Colossus 100k H100 training cluster online. From start to finish, it was done in 122 days.

Colossus is the most powerful AI training system in the world. Moreover, it will double in size to 200k (50k H200s) in a few months.
Excellent…
But wait, there’s more. The xAI team isn’t stopping there. They’re already planning to double Colossus’s size in the coming months, aiming for a whopping 200,000 GPUs. Talk about ambition!
Now, why should you care? Well, remember Grok 2, xAI’s AI model that recently caught up to OpenAI’s GPT-4? That was trained on just 15,000 GPUs. Imagine what they could achieve with Colossus’s firepower. It’s like going from a sports car to a rocket ship overnight.

This move is sending shockwaves through the AI industry. OpenAI, Google, and other tech giants are probably feeling the heat right now. With Colossus, xAI is not just entering the race – they’re gunning for pole position.
So, buckle up, folks. The AI revolution is accelerating, and Elon Musk’s xAI just hit the nitro boost. Who knows what groundbreaking innovations we’ll see next? One thing’s for sure – the world of AI will never be the same again.
