Elon Musk's xAI Expands Memphis Supercomputer Facility to One Million GPUs

The expansion includes a new 1-million-square-foot property, cutting-edge sustainability measures, and the world's largest Tesla Megapack deployment.

xAI has acquired a 1-million-square-foot property in Southwest Memphis to scale its Colossus supercomputer to one million GPUs by late 2025 or early 2026.
The project includes an $80 million water recycling plant with the world’s largest ceramic bioreactor, reducing Memphis Aquifer demand by 9%.
The facility will feature the largest deployment of Tesla Megapacks, ensuring energy efficiency and prioritizing local community power needs.
xAI's expansion is part of Elon Musk’s strategy to compete with OpenAI, leveraging advanced AI capabilities and infrastructure.
Environmental concerns have been raised, but xAI highlights its sustainability initiatives as a response to critics.
