xAI
Elon Musk's AI company focused on building AI that maximizes understanding, developer of the Grok model family and operator of one of the world's largest GPU clusters.
xAI raised $13.8 billion in one of the largest AI funding rounds ever. The company built a 100,000-GPU training cluster in Memphis, Tennessee — nicknamed 'Colossus' — in under 122 days, one of the fastest data center buildouts in history. Grok-3 was the first publicly known model trained with more than 10^26 FLOP. xAI has access to X (Twitter) platform data for training and differentiates Grok through real-time information access and a more permissive content policy than competitors.
