Elon Musk, through his XAI startup, has unveiled what is now the largest and most powerful artificial intelligence training supercomputer in the world. Named Colossus, this technological marvel is equipped with cutting-edge Nvidia GPU hardware, liquid cooling, and powered by giant Tesla MegaPack batteries.
Musk’s vision for Colossus is to create an AI capable of solving the mysteries of the universe, and what we see today is only the beginning.
Inside Colossus: The AI Supercomputer of the Future
Colossus is located in Memphis, Tennessee, at an industrial park southwest of the city center, situated along the mighty Mississippi River. The building, previously home to Electrolux, a Swedish appliance manufacturer, was repurposed for the XAI project. Why Memphis? It came down to finding the perfect building to get the project running quickly—it’s not about Austin, it’s about practicality.
Despite its unassuming exterior, Colossus houses the world’s largest AI training cluster. Inside, you’ll find over 1,000 Nvidia HGX units connected to exabytes of data storage and integrated into a super-fast network. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang himself has praised Colossus, calling it “easily the fastest supercomputer on the planet.”
The Hardware: What’s Inside Colossus?
Massive Scale and GPU Power
At the heart of Colossus is the GPU cluster, designed to power Gro—an advanced AI model being developed by XAI. Colossus currently houses over 2,500 Nvidia H100 GPUs across four massive data halls. Each data hall is packed with:
Nvidia H100 GPUs (the latest in AI training technology)
Storage (massive exabytes of data)
Fiber optic networks for rapid data transfer
The GPUs are cooled by a liquid cooling system, where water is pumped through giant pipes beneath the GPU cluster. The system works by drawing excess heat from the GPUs, circulating it through a chiller to cool it down before it’s pumped back in.
