Part 2/12:
Both Tesla and XAI are investing heavily in supercomputing capabilities, each developing their own large-scale GPU clusters. XAI, a company Elon Musk founded late last year, recently announced a Series B funding round raising $6 billion. With a pre-money valuation of $18 billion—bringing the total to around $24 billion—the funding aims to build a supercomputer called the “Giga Factory of compute” with 100,000 specialized GPUs. This cluster would surpass any existing AI setup, enabling breakthroughs in AI training speed and capacity, potentially surpassing OpenAI’s GPT-4 GPU cluster.
