Part 8/12:
Achieving such rapid progression requires immense computational resources. Elon Musk’s XAI is building Colossus 2, an energy-intensive data center projected to require over 1 gigawatt of power—enough to power nearly a million homes in the U.S. This build-out highlights the global race for computational infrastructure, with companies like Microsoft and NVIDIA also investing billions in large-scale data centers to support AI development.
