Elon confirms the scale of the Memphis Colossus 2 data center, with a year-end target of about 1.2 million Blackwell GPUs
indigo summarizes the scale of the Memphis Colossus 2 data center confirmed by Elon: Macroharder and Minihard each have 220,000 GB300s, Gun Range is planned at the same scale and is expected to come online at the end of November, and Spam has about 200,000 coming online in December, mainly for inference. The year-end target is about 1.2 million Blackwell (GB200/GB300) series GPUs. Independent tracking organizations such as Epoch AI confirm that the site currently has about 1.1 million+ H100-equivalent compute and nearly 1GW of power; 1.2 million corresponds to roughly $60 billion–$84 billion in GPU hardware costs.

That's why he calls Minihard a product, one that keeps evolving like everything Tesla and SpaceX build. He walked through Colossus II in Memphis. Macrohard has about 550,000 GB200s, Macroharder about 220,000 GB300s, and Minihard is going up next to rows of Megapacks. A land swap clears space for a fifth data center, and a warehouse across State Line Road could become a sixth. In Brownsville, 444 acres now sit under Starbase for permitting. $SPCX

SpaceX is now GPU Rich! Elon confirms the scale of the Colossus 2 data center in Memphis:
- Macroharder and Minihard each have 220,000 GB300s - Gun Range is planned at the same scale and is expected to come online by the end of November - Spam has about 200,000, coming online in December, mainly for inference, with a simpler network
The year-end target is about 1.2 million Blackwell (GB200/GB300) series GPUs. Independent tracking organizations such as Epoch AI also confirm that the site is enormous, currently at about 1.1 million+ H100-equivalent compute and nearly 1GW of power; the cost for 1.2 million corresponds to roughly $60 billion–$84 billion (GPU hardware only; full rack-scale would be higher)!
These luxurious compute resources are like a high wall blocking competitors 😅 As I said in this month's end-of-month livestream: "Compute is power"!
