Who wants to bet it's going to end up launching a "me too" generative AI product.
Maybe Musk should first take these skills to Tesla's self driving division then worry about the rest of the universe.
That is.. a bit vague ? What is the purpose, and what does it have to do with AI ?
Why launch such a teaser without announcing the (actual) goal ?
They cannot really think that they will be able to understand "the true nature of the universe" ?
I can’t tell what this company does. Does anyone know?
For those in the know, any comments about the team? Looks impressive to my uniformed eyes.
Five years ago, I would have leapt at this. Today, there's no way I'd want to be anywhere near a Musk-based tech company.
"Our team is led by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX." the same Elon Musk who dropped 44bn on Twitter and fought like a child to weasel out of the sale for almost six months? You mean that same sink-dragging guy who fired everyone once he took over at Twitter, locked everyone out of the office, and unbanned Andrew Tate and Kanye West? People still let this guy "lead" anything?
> We are actively recruiting experienced engineers and researchers to join our team as members of our technical staff in the Bay Area. It's funny that after all the talk of remote work, tech globalization and the SF/Silicon Valley exodus in the last few years (including much of it from Musk himself), we end up with pretty much all mainstream AI companies – OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nvidia, Scale AI, Midjourney, and…
If only Elon hadn't splurged the 40+ billion on Twitter, he could've been stacked with H100's right about now.
His tesla stock has appreciated considerably since the acquisition and while he has pledged to refrain from selling any more stock till(I am hazy on this detail end of 2024) he can still secure a loan against his stock to purchase hardware he pleases.
I recall every tesla has a gpu on board(dont recall the spec), and for their computer vision models their staff is potentially already has access to gpu's that could be dedicated to x.ai's research.
