xAI Builds Gigawatt-Scale Colossus 2 Cluster
|
9.0
Elon Musk’s xAI plans to operate a gigawatt-scale Colossus 2 training cluster in Memphis by mid-January 2026, expanding to about 1.5 gigawatts by April using Nvidia GB300 GPUs. The site bypasses grid delays with on-site natural-gas turbines and Tesla Megapack batteries, and follows a $20 billion Series E; the move underscores rising compute demand and raises energy-efficiency and emissions considerations.
