Nvidia and Musk's xAI: A Potential Partnership in the Works
According to a recent story, semiconductor giant Nvidia is reportedly in discussions with Elon Musk over a possible investment in xAI. The New York Post was the first to reveal the purported investment, citing an anonymous source that was supposedly informed about the situation.
Social media platform X is now using Grok, a large language model (LLM) developed by Elon Musk's artificial intelligence business. Grok has grown and developed rapidly, despite entering the market later than rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Grok's Swift Growth Puts xAI in the Spotlight
Nvidia has allegedly chosen not to comment on the rumored investment in xAI, but Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has shown strong support for Musk's AI business, Teslarati reports. The xAI team assembled a cluster of 100,000 H200 Blackwell GPUs in a mere 19 days, according to an interview given by Huang in October.
According to Huang, the typical timeframe for such a project, beginning with the ideation phase and ending with the finished product, is four years. "As far as I know, there’s only one person in the world who could do that; Elon is singular in his understanding of engineering and construction and large systems and marshaling resources; it’s just unbelievable," Huang remarked.
Investors Show Growing Interest in Musk's xAI
Numerous reports have surfaced regarding investments in xAI. Several billion dollars, at a valuation of around $40 billion, were allegedly being discussed by Musk's AI business with certain investors in October, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
According to The Information, Musk's AI business has also considered soliciting $5 billion from investors, valuing it at around $45 billion.
