summary: "SpaceX is scaling its Colossus 2 AI cloud infrastructure in Memphis toward 13GW of compute capacity by 2027, a buildout that SemiAnalysis compares to Google's total data center capacity over 27 years. The effort includes adding nearly 1.2 million Nvidia Blackwell GPUs by the end of 2026 and bringing roughly 3GW of compute online by December, up from 1.7GW in September, with new clusters named \"Gun Range\" and \"Spam\"."
