A look inside the datacenter behind Elon Musk's Grok AI (servethehome.com)
Today, we are releasing our tour of the xAI Colossus Supercomputer. For those who have heard stories of Elon Musk’s xAI building a giant AI supercomputer in Memphis, this is that cluster. With 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, this multi-billion-dollar AI cluster is notable not just for its size but also for the speed at which it was built. In only 122 days, the teams built this giant cluster. Today, we get to show you inside the building.
