A thread by minchoi tallies xAI's roughly three-year run: Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 total about 670k GPUs, alongside shipped products including Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, Grok Build, Grok Bot and Grok 4.7.
The takeaway: xAI isn't just a leaderboard cameo — it has stacked models, agents, apps and compute under one roof, and shows no signs of slowing down.
