O Elon Musk announced in a blog post that his technology development startup artificial intelligencexAI has begun training the Memphis supercomputer, which the US tycoon says is the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence training computer system.
Musk has announced that once Memphis is fully operational, it will be used to create what Musk calls “the world’s most powerful AI program,” which Musk says will be live by next December. xAI has launched its own competing AI program, Grok, and the new program is likely to be the third version of the program, Grok3.
Simultaneously with the announcement of the new xAI program, Musk organized an online poll asking X (formerly Twitter) users whether Tesla should fund xAI for its research purposes. Musk plans to ask Tesla shareholders to approve $5 billion in funding for xAI, and he is trying this unconventional way to achieve his goal. More than 320,000 users have already voted in favor of Musk’s idea, which he believes is putting some kind of pressure on shareholders in the electric vehicle industry of which he is a majority shareholder and director. However, the situation does not favor Musk’s plans as Tesla’s financial results for the fourth consecutive quarter are not positive.
