On June 19th, Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell posted on social media X, saying that we are working with Nvidia to build Dell AI factory to support Grok, the large model of Musk's xAI company.
Musk responded by saying that Dell is assembling half of the racks for the supercomputer that xAI is building.
Given that Dell is assembling half of the racks, when a netizen asked "Who is making the other half? IBM? HP? Cray? Or SGI?", Musk replied with "SMC". It is reported that Super Micro Computer (SMCI, or SMC as Musk said) is known for its close relationship with chip companies such as NVIDIA and its liquid cooling technology. The company has also confirmed its partnership with xAI to the media.
Last year, Musk founded xAI. According to media reports, Musk told investors that his AI startup xAI is planning to build a supercomputer to power an updated version of its AI chatbot Grok, and he hopes to have this supercomputer up and running by the fall of 2025.
However, training AI models like Grok requires tens of thousands of power-hungry chips, which are currently in short supply. Earlier this year, Musk said that training Grok 2 model would take about 20,000 Nvidia H100 graphics processing units (GPUs), and Grok 3 and later versions will require 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips.
