Musk Touts xAI’s ‘Macrohard’ as an AI-Run Software Platform to Rival Microsoft

New posts show Macrohard branding at Colossus II in Memphis, signaling an early build-out with partner-made hardware.

Overview

  • Musk says the goal is a company that can do anything short of direct manufacturing, using an Apple-style outsourcing model for physical products.
  • Macrohard is described as a fully AI-driven operation that uses xAI’s Grok agents to write and continuously improve production-grade software with minimal human oversight.
  • xAI imagery shows the Macrohard name on the Colossus II supercomputer site in Memphis, where the project is set to run on Nvidia GPU infrastructure.
  • xAI filed a USPTO trademark for “macrohard” on August 1, seeking protection for downloadable computer programs and software.
  • Hiring has begun for the initiative, though only a few Macrohard-specific roles are publicly listed, and Musk has floated a nearer-term goal of delivering an AI-generated game before the end of next year.
