summary: "SpaceX plans to expand the Colossus 2 supercomputing facility to approximately 1.2 million Nvidia Blackwell GPUs by the end of 2026, adding two new clusters named Gun Range and Spam that will contribute roughly 420,000 GB300 chips to the site's existing footprint. The Gun Range cluster is scheduled to be operational by late November for AI training, while the Spam cluster will launch in December with about 200,000 chips configured for inference, involving more than $35B in additional GPUs and placing the hardware scale of the Colossus 2 site in a tier shared by major AI developers including Meta, Google, and Microsoft."
