According to U.Today, during a recent interview with Dr. Jordan B. Peterson at Gigafactory Texas, Elon Musk discussed various topics, including the advancements of Grok AI, developed by his xAI start-up. Musk revealed that Grok 2.0, which has completed its training using approximately 15,000 H100 GPUs, is currently undergoing bug fixes and fine-tuning. He anticipates that Grok 2.0 will be released in August and will be comparable to OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4.
Musk also shared insights about Grok 3.0, which is being trained in a data center in Memphis, Tennessee, in collaboration with teams from the X platform and Nvidia. The training utilizes 100,000 liquid-cooled H100 GPUs. Musk expressed confidence that Grok 3.0 will be the most powerful AI in the world by every metric and aims for its release by December. He suggested that Grok 3.0 will surpass the latest iteration of ChatGPT.
In addition, Musk highlighted that xAI raised $6 billion in funding from major investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Saudi Arabian Prince Al Waleed bin Talal. The funding will support the development of Grok 3.0 and future versions. xAI is currently expanding its team and hiring new talent to work on these projects. Grok was initially released last year and made available on the X app for Premium users.
