"News of xAI's new turbines was shared on social media platform X, with user @SemiAnalysis_ stating that the turbines were produced by South Korea's Doosan Enerbility. As noted in an Asian Business Daily report, Doosan Enerbility announced last October that it signed a contract to supply two 380 MW gas turbines for a major U.S. tech company. Doosan later noted in December that it secured an order for three more 380 MW gas turbines."
"The funding, as per the AI startup, "will accelerate our world-leading infrastructure buildout, enable the rapid development and deployment of transformative AI products." The company also teased the rollout of its upcoming frontier AI model. "Looking ahead, Grok 5 is currently in training, and we are focused on launching innovative new consumer and enterprise products that harness the power of Grok, Colossus, and 𝕏 to transform how we live, work, and play," xAI wrote in a post on its website."
xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, purchased five additional 380 MW natural gas turbines from South Korea's Doosan Enerbility to power expanding supercomputer clusters. The turbines are expected to fuel an additional 600,000+ GB200 NVL72 equivalent cluster, positioning xAI's facilities among the world's largest. Elon Musk confirmed the purchase on X. Doosan had previously announced contracts for two 380 MW turbines and later for three more. xAI completed an upsized $20 billion Series E round to accelerate infrastructure buildout and product development. xAI reports Grok 5 is in training and plans new consumer and enterprise products using Grok, Colossus, and 𝕏.
