(Reuters) – Dell Technologies (NYSE:) is assembling half the racks for the supercomputer made by XAI, billionaire Elon Musk said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.
The American entrepreneur recently told investors that his artificial intelligence startup xAI plans to build a supercomputer to run the next version of its chatbot Grok, according to a report by Information in May.
Dell CEO Michael Dell also said in a separate post on
Training AI models, like xAI’s Grok, requires tens of thousands of power-hungry chips that are in short supply.
Earlier this year, Musk said that training the Grok 2 model took about 20,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, adding that Grok 3 models and beyond would require 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips.
Musk said he wants the proposed supercomputer up and running by fall 2025, according to the information.
Musk founded xAI last year as a competitor to Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:) Google subsidiary. Musk also co-founded OpenAI.
