xAI / Memphis / Tennessee / US
This is captive capacity. The operator does not sell GPU-hours, so no price on GPUQuant refers to it.
No provider names an area that GPUQuant has recorded as containing this building.
Every figure here is one an operator or a filing states, with the sentence it comes from one click away. Nothing is estimated, and an absent figure is rendered as absent rather than left out.
A power or accelerator figure appears above only where an operator or a filing states it. The footprint in the plate's caption is measured from the traced outline rather than published by anyone, which is why it sits there and not in this grid: it is not a capacity figure and it must never be read as the input to one.
Who is stated to occupy this building, and whether any of what is inside it can be bought. Both are claims a source has to make: GPUQuant records a tenant, a partner or a customer only where one is named in a quote.
This is captive capacity. The operator does not sell GPU-hours, so no price on GPUQuant refers to it.
The address on the record, the place it belongs to, and the cloud regions whose named area GPUQuant has tested it against.
GPUQuant records no cloud region relation for this facility. That means neither the geometry test nor a provider statement has put it inside a named area, not that it is unconnected to any cloud.
How this record was built and when it was last checked. A re-run appends a revision rather than overwriting a fact, because the previous value was true when it was recorded and the change is itself the content.
Memphis is home to Colossus, a state-of-the-art supercomputer that is also the computing power behind Grok – SpaceXAI’s revolutionary AI companion. By 2026, SpaceXAI plans to equip this facility with 1 million GPUs (special computer chips) to enhance the speed and intelligence of our AI systems.
SpaceXAI transformed a vacant 1-million-square-foot factory in Southwest Memphis into a cutting-edge technology hub.
Utilizing existing infrastructure in the former Electrolux facility, already zoned for our use.
We have provided tens of millions of dollars in local tax revenue since we arrived in Memphis in March 2024.
At our Electrolux site we have on-site energy storage (over 240 batteries) and 15 permitted natural gas generators with best-in-class emissions control technologies that will serve as back-up power in emergencies, or when the local grid is strained during times of deep cold or heat.
Built in 122 days — outpacing every estimate — Colossus was the most powerful AI training system yet. Then we doubled it in 92 days to 200k GPUs. This is just the beginning.
H100 GPUs in a single interconnected cluster
Doubled to 200K GPUs.
New: Anthropic partners with Colossus
SpaceX announced today that it has acquired xAI.

xAI’s Gigafactory of Compute – the World’s largest supercomputer – would be located in Memphis, Tennessee.
In a landmark announcement at the Greater Memphis Chamber Annual Chairman’s Luncheon, xAI revealed plans for an expansion of its “Colossus” supercomputer facility.
"AIRStatus":"Operating"
"AIRName":"COLOSSUS DATA CENTER"
In 2024, the world’s largest supercomputer, Colossus, became operational on President’s Island in Memphis, Tennessee.
Beginning in early June 2024, CTC began installing and, thereafter, operating numerous gas turbines at its facility in Southwest Memphis without obtaining any air permit or other written approval from the Health Department.
