- Palmer Luckey amplified Elon Musk's comments on xAI's compute roadmap, adding that "Starmind is the endgame."
- Musk says xAI already runs the most powerful AI training clusters in the world and expects to scale to roughly 10x current capacity by end of next year, targeting 10GW online.
- He argues AI training will stay on the ground while AI inference — day-to-day usage — moves to space; at an estimated $30-50 of value per watt, 10GW could represent $300-500B in value, framing the groundwork for SpaceX's space-based AI vision.
