The Limitless Podcast

In this episode: AI Scaling Wars, we dive into the fierce competition among AI giants like XAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to build massive data centers for achieving superintelligence, with XAI leading the pack by constructing their Colossus 2 supercluster, boasting over 550,000 GPUs in record time.

Elon Musk's team at XAI has revolutionized the process, slashing a typical four-year build to just 19 days for Colossus 1, leveraging innovative hacks like integrating Tesla Megapacks for stable power, all while aiming for 50 million H100-equivalent GPUs that could consume 2% of global electricity.

We contrast this with OpenAI's ambitious Stargate...

In this episode, we explore the rise of AI browsers and their potential to transform web navigation. Reflecting on the static nature of traditional browsers, we question if AI represents a genuine evolution or just a cosmetic upgrade.
