ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Reuters, Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI plans to expand its supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, to accommodate at least 1 million graphics processing units (GPUs), as xAI works to compete with rivals like OpenAI.In response to the Reuters report, Musk stated, Nope, at least 1 biiillioon GPUs!

ChainCatcher news, decentralized cloud infrastructure provider Aethir has partnered with AI computing economic layer GAIB and cloud service provider GMI Cloud, which focuses on AI and AGI, to integrate the H200 Tensor Core GPU into its decentralized computing ecosystem. This marks the first production deployment of the H200 GPU in the Web3 space, providing high-performance computing technology for enterprises and developers.Through this initiative, Aethir, GAIB, and GMI Cloud will offer enterprise clients the powerful computing capabilities needed to handle demanding GPU tasks, including large language model (LLM) training and AI inference.GAIB introduces a new type of yield asset supported by real AI cash flow. GMI Cloud stakes physical H200 GPUs on the GAIB network and then re-stakes them to Aethir, making these computing resources available to anyone who needs them. In the future, GAIB will tokenize these GPUs and their yield on-chain. This will enable users to directly invest in, trade, and own GPUs as assets. By purchasing GPU NFTs, users can earn rewards and yields generated by the underlying GPUs that support Web2 and Web3 AI demands.The H200 Tensor Core GPU is the latest high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) designed to accelerate AI and machine learning workloads. The H200 is built on the Hopper architecture and offers improvements in memory capacity, bandwidth, and computational efficiency compared to its predecessor, the H100. Additionally, this collaboration will make GPU resources more accessible and cost-effective on a global scale.
