Elon Musk Sets Sights on AI Supremacy with Titanic Supercomputer
Behind the scenes of the frenzied race toward artificial intelligence, Elon Musk is gearing up for a monumental offensive. According to information relayed by The Information, the visionary billionaire has unveiled an ambitious plan in a recent exchange with investors: to build an unprecedented supercomputer to power the next generation of his Grok chatbot on the X social network.
The details of this audacious scheme are dizzying. Musk reportedly intends to team up with tech giant Oracle to assemble, by autumn 2025, a massive cluster of Nvidia H100 graphics processors – an infrastructure that would be at least four times larger than the biggest existing GPU systems.
This gargantuan concentration of computing power would be a precious asset for Musk's AI startup, xAI, in the high-stakes arms race among technology titans. All are scrambling to secure the most powerful electronic chips to fuel their latest artificial intelligence innovations.
While neither Musk, xAI, nor Oracle have commented on these reports, the mogul's aspirations for artificial general intelligence (AGI) – the technology capable of rivaling human intellect – are well-known. During an April podcast, he predicted the advent of an AI "smarter than any human" by the end of next year, a bold forecast that underscores his lofty ambitions.
With this supercomputer project, Elon Musk seems determined to push the boundaries of AI, even if it raises questions about the ethical and societal implications of such a pursuit of computational power. One thing is certain: the billionaire is far from done shaking up conventions in this ebullient field.
