xAI buys massive 1M-square-foot site for Colossus supercomputer expansion
xAI just purchased a 1-million-square-foot property in Southwest Memphis to expand its massive Colossus supercomputer cluster. The facility complements an existing site that features an $80 million wastewater recycling plant and the world's largest Tesla Megapack deployment to reduce strain on local grids. Why it matters: Elon Musk's race for raw computing scale isn't slowing down, and xAI is locking down the physical footprint needed to power next-gen frontier models.
