With the latest acquisition, xAI aims to increase its total training capacity to nearly two gigawatts of compute power, a scale that places it among the most energy-intensive AI operations globally. According to a report by The Information, which cited property records and people familiar with the project, the newly acquired building is expected to serve as a third large data centre located outside Memphis. The report added that xAI plans to begin converting the warehouse into a full-scale data centre in 2026. xAI is also reportedly planning to expand Colossus to house at least one million graphics processing units (GPUs), significantly increasing its ability to train larger and more complex AI models. Both the new facility and an upgraded cluster known as Colossus 2 are said to be located near a natural gas power plant that xAI is building, alongside access to other power sources.
