Musk to expand xAI's training capacity to a monstrous 2 gigawatts with third building at Memphis site — announcement comes days after Musk vows to have 'more AI compute than everyone else'
Elon Musk's xAI has acquired a third building in Memphis to expand its training capacity, aiming to reach a massive 2 gigawatts. The new structure, named 'MACROHARDRR', is part of Musk's ambitious plan to develop software using AI agents exclusively. Despite the significant investment, xAI still needs to secure GPUs, power sources, and funding, with Nvidia already on board to supply GPUs for the project. Musk's ultimate goal is to surpass all competitors in AI compute power, challenging industry giants like Microsoft. The project's rapid progress and substantial financial commitment raise questions about the future of AI development.
