To do this, he buys graphics accelerators and recruits specialists.
The media reported that Elon Musk plans to develop generative AI on Twitter. This is indicated by his recent acquisition of 10 thousand powerful A100 GPUs from Nvidia, which are used to work with language models.
In addition, the company has hired DeepMind specialists Igor Babushkin and Manuel Croiss, but the project itself is still at an early stage. It’s not yet clear what exactly the new AI is going to be used for, but most likely it will be improving search, creating targeted advertising content, and the like.

The GPUs are expected to be deployed in one of Twitter’s two remaining data centers. The third, which was located in Sacramento, closed at the end of December 2022.
Note that Musk co-founded OpenAI with Sam Altman, but left the company in 2018, after which he began to criticize the work of the company. However, it looks like it now wants to compete with ChatGPT and other similar projects.
In March of this year, Musk signed an open letter from the Future of Life Institute calling for a six-month moratorium on training artificial intelligence systems more powerful than GPT-4.
