Colossus, the world’s strongest artificial intelligence training cluster, was activated

Many large market companies are developing artificial intelligence models; Now it seems that Elon Musk, the CEO of X, has been able to steal the competition from others by launching the Colossus processing cluster, the most powerful artificial intelligence training system in the world.

In a post on X, Musk stated that his team at xAI, after 122 days of continuous effort and using 100,000 Nvidia H100 processors, finally successfully activated the Colossus training system. He also added that the processing power of this cluster will be doubled in the future with the addition of 50,000 H200 processors. Musk had previously announced at the beginning of August that training had begun with this supercluster, which is located in Memphis, USA and was known by the same name.

On the other hand, Nvidia, the manufacturer of the processors of this system, also congratulated him and the xAI team by quoting the post of Mask in X. Colossus introduced a way to obtain exceptional achievements in energy efficiency.

In addition, “Kathy Wood”, the CEO of “ARK Invest” company, in a post, considered the launch of Colossus as an effective event in the world of artificial intelligence and pointed to the possibility of new achievements in the near future.

Colossus, the most powerful artificial intelligence training system in the world

While the strongest OpenAI model has been trained with 80,000 GPUs, Colossus is known as the strongest AI training system due to the number of GPUs it has. The H200 processors present in this system have 141 GB of HBM3E memory and 4.8 TB of bandwidth.

Despite his high position in the field of artificial intelligence, Musk supports the adoption of laws to prevent the possible dangers of this technology. He recently posted that California House Bill 1047 should be passed; A bill that has raised concerns among tech activists about possible limits on artificial intelligence innovation in the United States.
