Elon Musk’s xAI goes after OpenAI
An underappreciated force behind great technological change is intense—and petty—rivalry. The cash and computing power will help train the third generation of Grok, which Mr Musk, with his usual rambunctiousness, has promised will be “the world’s most powerful AI by every metric". Though some investors resent the way Mr Musk takes from one company to give to another, he argues that xAI will ultimately help him realise his dream of creating autonomous cars, “robotaxis" and humanoid robots. Such ambitions may help xAI get its hands on scarce GPUs because Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s boss, shares Mr Musk’s sense of higher purpose. One of those investors, Alexandre Azoulay of SGH Capital, a VC firm, accuses Mr Musk of using “lawfare" against OpenAI rather than fair competition.
