Elon Musk has announced Colossus, which the xAI team built from the ground up in roughly four months.
The race for AI supremacy is once again accelerating as xAI CEO Elon Musk announced via Twitter that his company successfully brought its Colossus AI training cluster, which Musk bills as the world’s “most powerful,” online over the weekend.
Colossus is the most powerful AI training system in the world. Moreover, it will double in size to 200k in a few months.

Colossus is the most powerful AI training system in the world. Moreover, it will double in size to 200k in a few months. Excellent work by the team, Nvidia and our many partners/suppliers,” Musk wrote in a post on X.
Musk began purchasing tens of thousands of GPUs in April 2023 to accelerate his company’s AI efforts, shortly after penning an open letter calling for an industrywide, six month “pause” on AI development. In March of that year, Musk claimed that the company would leverage AI to “detect & highlight manipulation of public opinion” on Twitter, though the GPU supercomputer will likely also be leveraged to train its large language model , Grok.
