The xAI Memphis data center has 150,000 H100s, 50,000 H200s and 30,000 B200s. This is the equivalent of 400,000 H100s of compute. An H200 is double the compute of an H100 and a B200 is fives times the compute of a H100. This is the compute used to train Grok 3.5.xAI is about to bring 110,000 B200s up at a second Memphis data center. This will have the equivalent of 550,000 H100s of compute.
