TADEAS:
XCHAOS:
Musk has dubbed the site ‘the gigafactory of compute,’ and says it will eventually be home to up to 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs for training and running the next generation of xAI’s large language model, Grok, with a second cluster of 300,000 B100 GPUs scheduled to come online next year.
However, getting sufficient power to the site for such a powerful set-up requires significant investment. While xAI has pledged to spend $24 million building a substation that would give it access to up to 150MW (if approved by the state grid operator), the site currently only has 7MW available from the grid.
To solve this problem, Musk has drafted in 14 mobile natural gas generators from Voltagrid, each capable of supplying 2.5MW. The SELC letter says that four 16MW SMT-130 turbines from a company called Solar Turbines have also been brought to the site, adding to the problem of poor air quality in Shelby County.
