Billionaire Elon Musk has informed interested parties that his artificial intelligence (AI) venture xAI plans to build a high-performance computer to run an advanced future version of the Grok chatbot.
The supercomputer, dubbed the "Gigafactory of Computation," is scheduled to debut in the fall of 2025, The Information reported.
According to the article, the system will be built using multiple #Nvidia H100 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Development costs are expected to reach "billions of dollars," according to media estimates.
The report also mentions a potential collaboration between #xAI and Oracle to create a "Gigafactory of computing."
Musk previously revealed that it took about 20,000 Nvidia H100 processors to prepare Grok 2. He is confident that upcoming iterations of the conversational algorithm will require at least 100,000 of these GPUs.
According to The Information, Musk also told investors that the planned GPU array will outscale those used by xAI's competitors by at least four times.
An iteration of the Grok 1.5 model is currently available, demonstrating the ability to process text and visual data. The company introduced this algorithm in April 2024.
In the past, social platform X has used the #Grok AI model to create short digests of news and other relevant topics on its platform.
