Elon Musk heads to at least six of the company innovation: Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, X (formerly of Twitter), Neuralink, and the xAI. But that's not enough for her... the contractor, and, in fact, have recently announced that the xAI has launched the most powerful of the training, HE is in the world, called the Memphis Supercluster, located in Memphis, Tennessee. The goal is the creation of artificial intelligence of the most skilled, sometimes up to December of this year.
Nice work by @xAI team, @X team, @Nvidia & supporting companies getting the Memphis Supercluster training started at ~4:20am local time.
With 100k + liquid-cooled H100s on a single RDMA fabric, it's the most powerful HE's training cluster in the world!

According to the broadcaster, the local WREG, Supercluster is located in the south-west of the city, and it represents an investment the greater the capital of a new company in the history of Memphis. However, xAI has not yet entered into contracts with the Authority of the local Valley, the Tenesit, which is responsible for the provision of electrical power for projects larger than 100 megavat.
The potential of the Supercluster, of Memphis
Memphis Supercluster consists of 100,000 units of the processing, the graphics H100 with a cooling liquid (GPU), chipsets offered by Nvidia in the past, and to the high demand from the seller to the patterns from IT, including the rival OpenAI. Musk stated that the group operates in a framework of a single RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which allows you to transfer more efficiently to the data in the delay of the lowest among the elements calculation, without the heavy unit of the central processing (CPU).
The purpose ambitious xAI
xAI seeks to train the LLM-of-its in the Supercluster, with the intention of providing “artificial Intelligence, the most powerful in the world, according to every metric” up to December 2024. Musk believes that the Supercluster, of Memphis, will provide an “advantage of the significant” in order to achieve that goal.
Musk has in the past shown repeatedly, projects, and goals that are publicly without regard to the later time periods set forth, such as in the case of the robotaksisë (the presentation had been scheduled for early August, and was postponed to October) and the carriage of people on the March. For this reason, it is not certain that the intelligence of the young man Grok it would be really, really ready, and it will be presented to the up to December 2024. If, however, the xAI I will succeed, I will give an impetus to the great efforts of the company.
The OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and the Handicapped, who all attend the LLM and the SLM of the most powerful, affordable, xAI going to have to be a model, really, really innovative and beneficial to stay competitive in the race to HIM.
Microsoft and OpenAI are also working on a superkompjuter: Stargate
According to what reported by The Information, that Microsoft was co-operating with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, for the development of a superkompjuteri for the training of artificial intelligence, with a value of 100 billion dollars, with the name of the encrypted Stargate. If the project of Microsoft and OpenAI goes forward as expected, the Memphis Supercluster of xAI, i consider the currently the most powerful in the world (by Elon Musk), and soon you can overcome it and lose that advantage.
