Coolest day on job ever…. Flying around starship launch.
In mid-February we broke ground at our new data center at Tulane in Shelby County, Tennessee. We have begun deploying the initial phase of computing infrastructure. This initiative includes the installation of an additional 110,000 NVIDIA GB200 GPUs, powered by a diverse array…

The @xAIMemphis team has been slightly busy. 🔌
Cable pr0n of @xAI GB200 servers at Colossus 2
The @xAI goal is 50 million in units of H100 equivalent-AI compute (but much better power-efficiency) online within 5 years
Why spend 2-3 years engineering and planning, then 2-3 years building when you can do it all in one year.
230k GPUs, including 30k GB200s, are operational for training Grok @xAI in a single supercluster called Colossus 1 (inference is done by our cloud providers). At Colossus 2, the first batch of 550k GB200s & GB300s, also for training, start going online in a few weeks. As Jensen…
There is something special – far more rewarding than money – about working with an epic team to make breakthroughs
🎶 Everyday we shufflin 🤣🤣 🎶
The best …
Sunday Evening somewhere in Memphis, a small crew of infra staff, including engineers that refuse to go home until the job is done. Hope you’re hungry @grok, we’re building what you crave.
I resisted AI for too long Living in denial Now it is game on @xAI @Tesla @SpaceX
NVIDIA'S CEO: ELON IS A SUPERHUMAN, IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE Jensen Huang: "Just to put in perspective a supercomputer that you would build would take normally three years to plan. And then deliver the equipment it takes one year to get it all working. We're talking about 19…
And will continue to do so.
xAI spent the day cleaning debris and trash at Westwood High School and John P. Freeman today. We employ local businesses to help us do the work 🦾.
Being a relentless worker, pouring your heart into every task because you are obsessed with creating something extraordinary is 🔑. Each day, diving into the hardest challenges with a grin (not in a “oh fk me I hate this” way but a “we’re about to figure this the fk out” way)…
Today marks 15 years @SpaceX. I spent last week at HQ in Starbase and couldn’t help but get sentimental. Much has changed since my first day in the office, but a few key things are identical. The mission, the energy, the buzz in the building, and the awe of walking around a…
Making a place better than you found it is critically important to the entire @xai team. Doesn’t matter if it’s repurposing wastewater, working with schools to enhance a child’s school experience or cleaning up the streets. We’re excited to be a part of the community and greatly…
xAI is committed to cleaning the areas around schools and homes in Memphis. We work continuously with city and county officials to remove waste and improve the community. Today, our team was working hard to clean up the roadways. On average our crews remove 8-10 discarded…
All of this ⬇️
That's right! We take errmm... less than clean water, clean it, then use it to keep Grok cool-headed! Not a new concept by the way - but a great way for datacenters needing water to not use precious natural resources.
Love it when a plan comes together.
xAI continues to lead the way with cutting-edge technology. We have commenced construction on the world’s large ceramic membrane bioreactor (MBR) to sustainably supply 13 million gallons per day of cooling water to our Colossus Supercomputer and neighboring industrial plants in…
Learning trade work is stability.
Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need…
Work doesn’t suck when you have purpose. It’s shockingly fun and makes you realize what can truly be accomplished in the 24 hour period of a day. Measuring that day in minutes (not hours) based on your (real) output is the true reflection of your impact. Grinding until 0330…
