Elon Musk shared an update on xAI's Memphis data center expansion: he is personally spending about 4 days a week in Memphis, the company is tracking to bring 200,000 Nvidia GB200s online per month for the rest of the year and continuing that pace into next year. He is "fairly confident" of bringing an incremental 10 GW of compute online by the end of 2027, and aims to add 20 GW of power and cooling capacity next year.
