XAI Using $18 Billion to Get 300,000 More Nvidia B200 Chips

On October 5, 2025, the Wall Street Journal reportes that xAI is committing over $18 billion to acquire approximately 300,000 additional NVIDIA GPUs, bringing the total for Colossus 2 to around 550,000 chips. This aligns with broader announcements from Musk on X, where he has repeatedly described Colossus 2 as the world’s first gigawatt-scale AI training cluster, with ambitions to scale toward 1 million chips in the near term.

Meta’s Llama 4 cluster targets 600MW around the end of 2025.
