Elon Musk says he's personally spending 4 days a week in Memphis to bring Colossus 2 online.
- Compute pace: 200,000 GB300s brought online per month for the rest of this year, continuing into next year, with next year's additions shifting primarily to Vera Rubin compute.
- Power targets: 2.5-3 GW online by end of this year, plus an incremental 10 GW in 2027 — meaning at least 13 GW of compute online by end of next year.
A rare, concrete look at one of the industry's largest compute expansions.
