Elon Musk's startup, xAI, is working to revolutionize artificial intelligence (AI) by building a supercomputer to power its AI chatbot, Grok. The project, set to be completed by 2025, will utilize Nvidia’s H100 GPUs to create a computing powerhouse that can outpace existing GPU clusters by at least four times.

xAI has partnered with Oracle to develop a “Gigafactory of Compute.” This supercomputer will be the backbone for training and evolving Grok. With Oracle's support, xAI plans to increase its GPU count from 10,000 to 100,000, creating a formidable computing infrastructure.

Musk has ambitious plans for Grok, anticipating the need for 100,000 GPUs for Grok 3 and beyond. He believes that by 2025, AI systems like Grok could outperform humans in all tasks, raising questions about the future of human employment.

xAI has launched Grok in the European market, marking a significant step in its global expansion strategy. The launch aims to foster broader AI adoption and influence global AI policies.

Investor interest in xAI is high, with Musk initially aiming to secure $4 billion in funding at a $15 billion valuation, but due to high investor interest, the funding target was raised to $6 billion at an $18 billion valuation. These funds are crucial for expanding xAI’s GPU infrastructure and developing the supercomputer.
