Dell Technologies and Super Micro Computer will reportedly be providing server racks for the supercomputer that Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI is building.
San Francisco-based Super Micro, which has close ties with chip firms like Nvidia and its liquid-cooling technology, confirmed the partnership with xAI. Dell's association in terms of assembling half of the racks for xAI’s supercomputer has been confirmed by Musk on X.
In a post on X, Dell CEO Michael Dell said that the company was building an "AI factory" with artificial-intelligence heavyweight Nvidia that would power the next version of xAI's chatbot Grok.
Musk informed his investors that the artificial intelligence startup xAI is considering building a supercomputer. It will power the next version of its AI chatbot Grok, according to a news report in May.
Musk aims to have the supercomputer operational by the fall of 2025. This initiative points to xAI's mission to challenge leading AI companies such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Alphabet's Google. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, is positioning xAI as a formidable competitor in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
