"The xAI CEO said that the company's ability to rapidly scale its power and data capacity would be a key ingredient in the race to achieve superintelligence - which surpasses human intelligence - and become the most powerful AI company. Musk said that xAI could achieve artificial general intelligence, which matches or exceeds human intelligence, in the next few years, even as soon as 2026, sources said."
"Musk said in November that xAI had a 10% likelihood of achieving AGI with its Grok 5 model, which he has said the company plans to release early next year. The CEO also told staff that xAI would have an advantage over other AI companies because it would have access to around $20 billion to $30 billion in funding per year, and it could benefit from its proximity to his other companies, sources said. Tesla integrated Grok into its vehicles earlier this year."
"Musk also theorized about building data centers in space and his plans to colonize Mars, the sources said. He said that Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot could eventually man such extraterrestrial data centers, the people said. Musk has previously said that Optimus could provide support for SpaceX missions as soon as next year."
xAI's survival over the next two to three years is presented as critical to its ability to outperform competitors. Rapid expansion of power and data capacity is identified as essential for competing in the race to superintelligence. xAI could reach artificial general intelligence within a few years, potentially by 2026, with Grok 5 carrying an estimated 10% likelihood of producing AGI. The company may access roughly $20 billion to $30 billion in funding annually and may benefit from proximity to other companies. Tesla has integrated Grok into vehicles. Concepts include space-based data centers and using Optimus robots for extraterrestrial operations.
