Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has given high praise to Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI. In an interview with B2g Pod, Huang described Musk and xAI’s achievements as remarkable, stating, “As far as I know, there’s only one person in the world who could do that. Elon is unique in his understanding of engineering, construction, large systems, and resource management; it’s simply astonishing.”
The supercomputer in question, named Colossus, was created using a cluster of 100,000 Nvidia GPUs. Although Musk initially claimed that the entire process took 19 days, it was later clarified that the complete project spanned 122 days, with the hardware installation to initial training phase taking 19 days as Musk mentioned in June.
Huang was notably impressed with xAI’s engineering, networking, infrastructure, and software teams, calling them “extraordinary.”
