Expanding its Colossus AI supercomputer to a million GPUs, xAI plans a project costing potentially $27 to $36 billion, raising significant feasibility concerns.
To power the planned expansion, xAI's GPUs may demand 1.2 to 1.5 gigawatts of generation capacity, exceeding the output of large nuclear reactors.
The competition in AI computing is heating up; Meta has announced plans for a giant datacenter that mirrors xAI's ambitious project with a $10 billion investment.
The scale of xAI's expansion aligns with current AI trends, indicating that the leap to a million GPUs might not be as eccentric as it seems.
