Overview
- Musk said xAI purchased a third building called MACROHARDRR and that the addition will take training compute to almost 2 gigawatts.
- The Information, citing property records and a person familiar, reported the building is in Southaven, Mississippi, adjoining the Colossus 2 site.
- xAI plans to begin converting the warehouse into a data center in 2026, and the site sits near a natural-gas power plant the company is building, according to The Information.
- Reporting says xAI aims to scale Colossus to about 1 million GPUs, and Musk has previously said Colossus 2 will eventually use 550,000 Nvidia chips.
- Bloomberg reported earlier this year that xAI was in talks to raise about $20 billion in debt and equity, while environmental groups have criticized the expansion’s heavy power demand.
