Some two weeks again, Elon Musk was one among plenty of huge names who signed an open letter calling for a pause on AI improvement. As a very surprising development to the story the person is now rumoured to have bought 10,000 GPUs. What are these high-powered graphics playing cards for, you ask?

A generative AI challenge often known as X.AI Corp, after all (through Ars Technica). 

Yep, Elon Musk is now taking on the very sceptre he tried to dam, and could also be transport his newly acquired GPU haul to Twitter’s Atlanta information heart as we communicate. Studies from our sister site Tom’s {Hardware} speak of Musk recruiting earlier DeepMind staff for the enterprise, to assist beginning no matter ChatGPT-rivalling massive language mannequin (LLM) he has within the conception phases at once.

Estimated to be value tens of tens of millions of {dollars}, there is no phrase on the precise {hardware} Musk’s reported buy consists of. The chances are it is going to contain a very good few of Nvidia’s Hopper H100 GPUs, and/or some A100 and GPUs just like ChatGPT’s personal.

Having co-founded Open AI (creators of ChatGPT) again in 2015, and having later left the corporate in 2018 on unhealthy phrases, this definitely seems like one thing Musk would see as a logical enterprise step.

We have fought by means of the rumours, and it seems X.AI itself is not essentially going to be instantly related to Twitter. It’s prone to utilise Tesla’s lots of knowledge, nevertheless, in addition to Twitter information to coach the anticipated X.AI LLM.

As a result of coaching chatbots on social media by no means went terribly flawed, ever.
