Does an expansion of computing power on this scale imply that computing capital is displacing model architecture as the true moat in AI competition?
Anthropic is expanding to Colossus2. Will use GB200

#92More signs that xAI might be giving up on the AGI race. xAI let Cursor train a model on Colossus 2, gave the entire Colossus1 to Anthropic, and is now giving compute in Colossus2 to Anthropic as well.
Bad read on the situation. xAI has too much compute and not enough customers using it. They have around half a million GPUs, some of which are stolen from Tesla, running at 11% utilization. xAI predicted more people would be using Grok, but Grok is not a SOTA model & users primarily want to use SOTA models. They have excess capacity and it makes sense to rent out GPUs to other customers while they improve their model…
It is a race that has a flywheel effect.
Once xAI training team “fix” their model, where will Anthropic be then?

The newer location is about 3 miles southwest of the Memphis Airport (MEM), one of the world’s largest cargo airports and the center of FedEx operations (500 take-off and landings per day most concentrated in a 6 h FedEx window with lots of engines running on ramps and that produces about 2000 tons of NOx per year). I live about 18 miles downwind of the new Colossus sites, the airport, and lots of truck logistics sit…
Your math is way wrong. The airport is and will be far, far worse. You didn't even mention all of the lead
What was the specific mathematical or factual error? It is not theoretical for me.

FWIW, SpaceX (parent company of xAI) has an option to acquire Cursor for $60B that expires 7 days after their imminent IPO.

xAI might acquire Cursor. They are in the process of training new coding models and probably a new Grok.
Until they finish training, it makes sense to rent the excess capacity.

#97Seems like either Grok is being shut down or it will be "powered by anthropic" soon.

Have you considered that the march of progress requires human blood to grease the gears and mulched skulls to pave the (highly efficient) road? Really, when you take into account all of the future lives this will improve and save it's difficult to claim any cost now is too high. Would you stand in their way and delay the day that Mythos cures cancer? This is a joke. Read it in a mocking tone.
Not Anthropic, but Sam Altman - AI will solve climate change and cure all diseases.
AI is the new religion, and one needs to be stupid to believe it.

Yup, and now Anthropic is complicit in the environmental damage and health problems for local residents that these data centers are causing. But hey, number must go up, right?
Do you think Boris cares about people getting cancer and dying from these data centers? No, he cares about becoming rich as fuck.
This is simply called disruption. They really don't care.

Grok’s whole thing is being irresponsible and edgy. Can’t s ee Anthropic going for that, can’t see Grok’s customer base accepting an AI that refuses to do nonconsensual porn.
