Elon Musk fetches $ 6 billion for Xai-AI Renaissance in sight!
Memphis, USA - Elon Musk Start-up Xai has received an impressive financing volume of $ 6 billion (approx. 5.7 billion euros) from investor funds. The company announced this on Thursday and is thus evaluated with over $ 50 billion, in response to the growing interest in its AI technologies. In just one year, Xai increased the total of $ 12 billion after 6 billion dollars were collected in spring. Investors who participated in this financing round include well -known investment companies such as Valor Equity Partners, Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as the Qatar Investment Authority, the state fund of Qatar, such as techcrunch reported.
Fresh capital is used to promote the development of in -house artificial intelligence. Musk plans to increase the capacities of his "Colossus" supercomputer on at least one million AI processors. This is a strategic step to assert itself against competitors such as Openaai, who raised $ 6.6 billion at the end of October. According to OE24 , Xai is now at an aggressive course to achieve new technological progress and to expand its AI applications.
new AI applications and competitive strategies
A central product from Xai is the generative AI model Grok, which is already integrated in various functions of the social network X, formerly Twitter. GROK is known to address its users openly and directly, even if this sometimes includes controversial answers. Musk emphasizes the importance of GROK and claims that his model is less biased and enables "maximum truth finding". He even filed a lawsuit against Openai and Microsoft because he accuses them of acting actively with the intention of eliminating competitors like Xai.
The expansion of Xai is remarkable: within a year the number of employees has increased from about a dozen to over 100. Musk has also announced plans for further investments in the new year, which indicates that investors continue to have great confidence in Xai's future. The constantly growing demand in the area of AI ensures that companies that invest in this field pull enormous sums of capital to expand their technological skills and keep up with other market leaders.
