Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is constructing the world's largest supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, with over $400 million already invested. The project aims for 1 million GPUs, yet local power infrastructure is insufficient, prompting the need for an on-site power generation solution. Multiple construction permits have been filed since June 2024, including substantial investments in electrical infrastructure. Musk and local officials believe this venture will position Memphis as a leader in AI technology, comparable to other significant AI-enabled facilities being developed across the country.
Elon Musk's xAI is developing a massive 'gigafactory of compute' in Memphis, investing over $400 million, aiming to scale from 200,000 to 1 million GPUs.
The construction includes substantial electrical infrastructure, as local power sources won't suffice for the planned 1 million GPUs, necessitating on-site power generation.
