Odaily News Elon Musk said in a May investor presentation that his AI company xAI will need up to 100,000 specialized semiconductors to train and run the next version of its conversational AI, Grok. xAI plans to use these specialized computing chips to form a huge supercomputer, calling it a "gigafactory of compute." Elon Musk said he hopes to have the supercomputer operational by the fall of 2025 and will personally be responsible for delivering it on time. Once completed, the chipset connected to the computer will be at least four times the size of the largest GPU cluster in existence. (The Information)
