Elon Musk's xAI to Launch Grok-2 in August and Prepare for Grok-3

TapTechNews July 2nd news, Elon Musk has announced that his artificial intelligence startup xAI's large language model Grok-2 will be launched in August, bringing more advanced AI functions. Although Grok-2 has not yet made its appearance, Elon Musk has already started building up hype for its Grok-3.

Elon Musk said that training an AI chat bot requires a data set, and the workload of purging a Large Language Model (LMM) from existing data is huge. He also talked about several issues with the output training of the OpenAI model.

He revealed that xAI's Grok-3 was trained with 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips and is expected to be released by the end of the year, believing it will be'very special'.

The H100 is an AI chip developed by Nvidia specifically for processing data of large language models (LLMs). The price of each Nvidia H100 artificial intelligence chip is estimated to be around 30-40 thousand US dollars (currently about 219-292 thousand Chinese Yuan), and there may be discounts when purchased in bulk.

We simply calculate that the value of 100,000 Nvidia H100 here for xAI is 30-40 billion US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 218.68-291.57 billion Chinese Yuan). Elon Musk had previously mentioned that Tesla's estimated purchase amount from Nvidia this year will be between 30-40 billion US dollars, and it is reasonable to推测 that what xAI uses here is Nvidia chips purchased by Tesla for training.
