Supercomputer

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has announced a partnership with Dell, Nvidia and Supermicro to build what it says will be the world’s largest supercomputer. The project will provide the startup with a large amount of computing resources to support its training work and reduce its reliance on cloud services from Oracle and X’s data centers.

Musk plans to build an AI supercomputer for his AI company xAI, using Nvidia graphics cards, called a "computing megafactory," which is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. The supercomputer is expected to be at least four times larger than the strongest clusters currently used by competitors such as Meta.

Technology companies GigaIO and SourceCode have jointly launched a disruptive portable artificial intelligence supercomputer - Gryf. Unlike previous huge supercomputers, Gryf is cleverly designed to be the size of a cabin suitcase, weighing no more than 55 pounds (note: about 24.97 kilograms), fully complying with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) cabin suitcase regulations, and users can easily carry it when traveling. But don't be fooled by Gryf's small appearance, it has four built-in graphics processors (GPUs), 246TB...

According to the Nikkei, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan will provide subsidies totaling 72.5 billion yen (currently about 3.4 billion yuan) to five Japanese companies to build artificial intelligence supercomputers, aiming to reduce technological dependence on the United States. The report pointed out that from the perspective of economic security, the development of AI is crucial, and high-performance computers are also crucial for the development of AI and generative AI that require massive data learning. At the same time, Japan's computing infrastructure is very scarce. ▲ The Arm-based supercomputer jointly developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu...

On March 30, the famous technology media the information exclusively reported that Microsoft and OpenAI are developing a data center project, including a supercomputer called "Stargate" that will be equipped with millions of AI-specific chips, mainly to provide services for OpenAI's research and development and products. According to an insider who has talked with OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman and viewed Microsoft's cost estimates for the project, the total investment is as high as $100 billion. As early as May 19, 2020,…
